Carlos Ghosn Steppin' Down!!

squid267 · 02-24-2017, 01:00 PM

Just want to point out Carlos is still chairman (or CEO, I forget) of the Nissan-Renault-Mitsubishi alliance. AKA he's still head honcho. He has to turn Mitsubishi around like he did with Nissan.

AND someone fact check me here, but Carlos greenlighted the revival of the Z with 350Z. He agreed that Nissan needed something in that segment. At the end of the day, this will be business as usual for Nissan. I wouldn't consider any major changes coming from this.

The key is for the three to get healthy financially and build on their strengths. They will share platforms more than ever, leverage their design teams, expand self driving technology, computer and tech on wheels instead of wheels and motor with a computer in it, and niche out certain brands targeting Europe, Asia, and North America. They will use the same formula to rebuild Mitsubishi. Design a car with mass appeal and come up with a performance focused grail car targeting the enthusiasts. My fear is the age of driverless tech. Fifteen to twenty years from now.........there may not be a car for the enthusiasts so hang on to your Z's.

If it does make sense for VW to collaborate and acquire Porsche,Audi and Bugatti. Why not Nissan/Renault and Mitsubishi collaboration of knowledge.

Dang I used to drive a 1992 Mitsubishi Galant VR4 and a 1987 Lancer box type.
For years it ruled the Rally world before Subaru took the crown.

Off subject, but why does like every WRX owner ever lower their car at the same time they add mudflaps? I mean, isn't that counterproductive if you're racing offroad?
