News about the confluence of Honda and Nissan in one corporation attract a lot of attention. Manufacturers are busy discussing the terms of a possible transaction, but the unification may not take place in the end. This raises new questions about the future of inexpensive models.

Earlier, Honda and Nissan reported the signing of a memorandum of mutual understanding. Actually secured cooperation with the prospect of further unification into a large company. According to Carscoops, negotiations are not going so smoothly.

Apparently, Honda set for Nissan rather strict conditions for reaching high profit so that the merger would take place at all. As an alternative is offered a complete absorption, but Nissan does not suit this.

Mitsubishi (which, together with Nissan is in the Alliance with Renault) used to join, but in the observation role. After it was reported that Mitsubishi was not interested in participating. Although the manufacturer has not yet commented on the process.

In addition to Nissan, they are worried about the popularity of their inexpensive cars, which are produced in Mexico for the US market. Coming tariffs can increase prices, make cars less popular and reduce income even more.
