cliff in reliability in the 2010s imo. The last Honda I bought was more Dodge/Chrysler quality than anything close to a Toyota. It totally fell apart after 120,000 miles and we got nothing for it.

If Nissan and Honda merger happens and you are the chief in charge what do you do?

Isn’t the new Armada basically the Patrol with a different name?

Basically the same platform. But, if I recall correctly, the changes they make for this market neuter it...

Hmm thanks ChatGPT

Nope. I went to the forums really quick. I haven't followed Nissan very closely since leaving the industry.

Are you talking about the 2025? Because the 25 is supposed to be completely

I haven't followed closely, not aware of what 2025 is bringing.

Bummer they ditched the V8 for a twin turbo V6 in the 2025, but that's par for the course. They added a PRO-4X

Don't do a Datsun - Keep it. Just upgrade quality to Honda standards.

Release retro cool models based on current models and call those Datsun. Build

We have bought two Odyssey minivans since 2018, only one problem that I remember

We looked at SUVs before upgrading, but a minivan just works for us right now

Honda and Toyota both had a rough period in the late 00s and early 10s

Don't let Nissan's poor quality and reliability mix with Honda. Also don't

Also don’t let Hondas terrible esthetics and generics ruin Nissan

That's fair. That's why they should make a truck together. People love the

Basically the patrol is already coming to the US as the 2025 Armada

bring back the Xterra as a real Honda off-roader, maybe use the Passport as the starting point

This merger is not a good sign

use the Nissan brand to Focus on off-road and performance cars

I like this thought. Infiniti/Acura for lux. Honda for the masses. Nissan for performance and capability.

The 2025 Armada 4 FX or whatever they call it looks pretty awesome and seems

Nissan should be treated as either a performance brand or a budget brand

Hopefully they don't make both brands worse. Can you image buying an ulgy,

Will it be named Nissonda or Hondssan?

I doubt Nissan will be fully integrated into Honda, or vise versa. They would be separate brands.

What do you think of 2025 complete overhaul of the Armada?
