Toyota DOES NOT own part of Mazda. They traded stock to start their assembly plant in the US. Mazda gave 5% to Toyota, and Toyota gave 2.4% to Mazda. One would say that 2.4% of Toyota is valued more than 5% of Toyota. So Mazda has more stock value in Toyota than Toyota has in Mazda. To correct your statement, you should say Mazda owns part of Toyota.

Please folks, as we have had three Nissans in my family (now we have two), don’t believe Scotty Kilmer all the time! He hardly ever has anything good to say about any Nissan, but I know people who have them and love them. Both of our remaining Nissans are Altimas with CVT transmissions, neither of the 3 have broke down on us. The one that we used to have with the least mileage when we got rid of, it was at 126,000 miles. It was wrecked. We still have the other two Altima’s. One of them has over 220,000 miles (2009) and still going strong. The other one has 193,000 miles (2014) and is still going strong. Hondas aren’t as good as they used to be. I would grab a Nissan or I would get a Honda these days. I see them as equal in quality. I’ve not had a Honda, but I would take one, but they are still not as good as they used to be. I love my Nissans. I have one Altima right now (2014). Almost 200,000 miles of trouble free mileage. My daughter has one with over 220,000 miles on it and it is a 2009 only needing some new coils replaced, not all at once (about $50 or $60 a piece at the parts store).

Look what happened to Boeing after they “merged” with McDonnell Douglass. The crappy company’s management (McDonnell Douglas) were sneakier than the good company’s management (Boeing) and the bad company ended up on top. What do you think of Boeing nowadays? Honda should make sure that all of Nissan’s management is fired, laid off, or retired before they merge.

[@FM-gv7sb]

I personally think the Frontier is a good truck and I hope Nissan keeps a manual transmission in the Versa or another car. Stop it with the CVTs. Even if they become Honda CVTs.

[@StanleyBanks-z3n]

I love my Nissan best truck I have owned. Had all of them

For many EVs, they have a battery conditioning function to essentially bring the battery to a safer temperature range by the time you are ready to use it, since it will damage the battery if you put a heavy load on it while it is extremely cold, and users likely won't want their car accelerating like a pedal bicycle for the first few minutes if their morning drive. Beyond that, the colder temperature can often lead to the voltage which will also reduce the effective capacity, since the conditioning does not bring it to the ideal range, instead it just brings it to the edge of a safe range. If it is 5f outside, it may bring the battery to 32f, thus allowing the car to offer its advertised performance, and not damage the battery.

[@brockdalton8641]

Scotty, you should have used the laughing Zebra on some of your jokes in this one. That one is my favorite 😂.

[@shaunpcoleman]

I'm not sure of the reason for your antipathy for Nissan. I have owned Altimas, Maximas, and Pathfinders and experienced no issues whatsoever. I have friends and relatives who have Nissan without issue. Does the US get second rate Nissans? Nissans are everywhere around here. Maybe it's a US thing.

[@Mark.is.watching]

Honda buying Nissan and Mitsubishi actually makes sense. Look at all the non car related things that those two are in that honda wants a slice of. Nissan and Mitsubishi have many other industries outside of vehicles but to get a foot in the door maybe this is how honda has to do it.

[@LanceyAce]

I have a 2015 Rogue this year and I am happy with it! If Nissan's reliability improves from Honda's involvement even slightly I would be happy.

[@KlasicRock]

PROTECT SCOTTY at ALL costs! LOL! You videos make me laugh sir :D You are a genuine man with a skill that is shared to the world, and I thank you! Happy New Year Sir

[@richardschmidt6619]

Maybe if the EV makes a loud noise like a regular sports car, CA police will pull it over, because the exhaust is too loud, and they will ref it.

[@cheftomsd]

My neighbor has a new hybrid CRV and when it backs into the carport it sounds like the Starship Enterprise landing.

[@jamiemcgill67]

It’s a cool sound. Not like any starship crashing!

[@jamesralph5908]

I thought this was just a joint merger for EV tech that Nissan’s already invested, then Honda can use that

[@brentmcmahon8188]

Nisan has good cars and motors but their transmission suckkkkkk !

[@GF-mf7ml]

Honda now have bad transmission and engine at the same time.

[@NVRAMboi]

@brentmcmahon8188: Only on their automobiles.Trucks are more bullet-proof than Toyotas right now. And way more affordable.

[@NVRAMboi]

Not on their trucks.

[@philfortner1805]

If you buy a Chinese tire, you get evryting yur diserve sir! It comes ah shpicey shauce!!

[@markfrinke2234]

Nissan must now only use Honda engines and transmissions.

[@CT37BN]

Main reason I think Japan pushed for this merger is they don't want Foxconn/Taiwan to take over Nissan from Renault. Foxconn did put on hold their bid after awhile. Maybe Honda would transform Nissan into a more reliable automaker and also make Mitsubishi more popular. Platform sharing I hope won't weaken the 3 brands. The pride of the engineering team at Nissan I think would have to calm down when Honda starts restructuring and sharing ideas.

[@andrewwalters4271]

I've had a couple of Nissan over the years, and they were very good cars. Nissan was also a strong competitor for Honda, and had a good line-up of stylish and reliable vehicles. Hopefully Honda can bring Nissan back up to where they used to be.

[@Nagalior]

Doesn't matter, GTR is still going to be starting from over 100k USD

[@thomasassim-ita1787]

The most stupid merger of the century... absolutely the end of Honda's reliability really. It's not advisable to buy a liability in Nissan

[@jonnyh8853]

The best merged with the worst!

[@peterkruse788]

Say it’s not true ! I can’t ever work on a Nissan . This is not good

[@Area_man115]

Wow a big freaking 3% drop in the stock price of Honda. Weakling Nissan’s piss poor ‘quality’ will have zero effect on Honda’s quality.

[@robv.o.1777]

3:48 they should allow user selected noises... I would definitely go "Jetsons"😂 Instead the the "spirits of victims" sound

[@boboren8246]

They should just stop making Nissan and Mitsubishi damn cars are just genuine junk

[@BatAskal]

I think a Honda-Nissan merger wouldn't be a disaster as it is perceived. Where Nissan really shines is their trucks and SUV's - especially their diesel version in other parts of the world. Honda doesn't have trucks other than the Ridgeline (which they sell mostly in the US/Canada) and they have no diesel trucks like Nissan Navarra and Toyota Hilux in Asia/Europe. Honda-Nissan merger will complete each other and can compete against Toyota on all segments.

[@Offensively-normal]

Honda is more interested in Mitsubishi than Nissan. It's just a way to a means.

[@streamingvideo6654]

Yes, Mitsubishi has good PHEVs.

[@drewboots]

Honda should keep the Frontier and Titan trucks, and dump the rest.

[@matthewvanderbeek2847]

Not the end of Honda. Honda will fix Nissan problems. Nissan has some technology that is good. In Japan people/companies tend help eachother out if need be. People will be more confident to buy a Nissan when their quality improves.

[@NVRAMboi]

"Culture". It's not insignificant that just a few months ago, NISSAN's CEO took a 50% pay cut of his earnings/salary this year. "Humility."

[@frankbrowning328]

If Honda outright buys Nissan it IMO could actually be a good thing for both companies. Honda could get rid of the Nissan transmission problems (Good for both companies) and get the Nissans 370 + larger SUV's from Infinity and Nissan Titan pickup which is an area where Honda is lacking.

[@Username18981]

I'd rather be optimistic and have nissan with honda quality.

[@ddyeo503]

I hope Honda doesn't buy Nissan's CVT's and start using them,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[@NVRAMboi]

There's no logic (business or common) in doing that. Perhaps Nissan will gain access to Honda's transmissions for their automobiles.

[@michaelcarson121]

Honda makes some garbage 🚮🗑️ transmission. Nissans normal transmissions are good it's the CVT that's junk 🗑️

[@JoseSanchez-qy1cw]

@@michaelcarson121 I have a 136K miles on my honda accord 2018 no issues so far

[@redrum3835]

Putting a Honda transmission in a Nissan is a nice bump in reliability for Nissan

[@mistermodd]

5:00 they should make their classic timing chain rattle noise😂

[@Drake2090]

What! No 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@bubcat54]

Buying the competition is the best way to grow. If you're not growing, you're dying. Plus, eliminates the competition.

[@raylopez99]

That's what Damler thought when it bought Chrysler?

[@PhilipMertens]

Why would this hurt Honda? It's clearly Honda fixing Nissan.

In London, Euston station is pronounced: Yewston. In New York City, there is Houston Street which is pronounced HOWston. I am STUNNED that everyone does not know this. : - )

[@wingman8447]

I think we’ve seen the end of any semblance of reliability from any brand

[@JosephFord-p2t]

Me and my GRC took a Nissan to gapplebees tonight for a drink and a free appetizer.

[@JDM-Jack]

Honda building 1.0 engines with belts in oil came way before Nissan... reliability has suffered in the last years without Nissan. Remember Honda's 1.5 gasoline engine with the oil dilution problems?

[@sandwich_in_wonderland]

Good. Bring back the Honda Element and Nissa X-Terra

[@dranzergigs8333]

Damn. First toyota ties up with suzuki and now this.

[@samanthajones4877]

The newly formed company should be called “The Titanic”.

I don't understand either why would Honda want to make this deal.
