Japanese automakers Honda and Nissan have announced plans to join forces and form the world’s third-largest automaker by sales as the industry undergoes dramatic changes in its transition away from fossil fuels.

    Bah. Their CVTs have been pretty decent since the 2018 revision. Don’t care about EVs, though they have a more proven platform in the Leaf than Honda has. The Frontier is one of the best selling (and best) small/mid-size trucks in the US. I think it’s the only one still actually made on a truck frame.

    So glad they’re seemingly done with Renault. Nissan engineering quality was top notch before that infernal partnership.

      The Frontier’s Q3 sales of ~16k were outpaced by the Ranger (21k) Colorado (29k), Maverick (45k), and Tacoma (57k). It did outsell the Ridgeline (13k) and Canyon (10k).

      I know there are ebs and flows as models change over, but I don’t think either Nissan truck has ever been close to the front of the pack.
