At the end of the day they're both based in the same GS platform that originated in 2005. New Mitsubishi owners aren't buying anything new.

Oh, god, that was so bad it sent me... reeling.

I dunnoooo, I think Sergio will die for his beloved Italian brand. Much easier to throw, you know, established (in the states, of course. This comment means nothing regarding Europe) brands like Chrysler or Dodge out and instead try to bring in Alfa and Fiat... -_-

Don't get me wrong, I actually like Fiat and Alfa and…

The hand of the Mitsubishi keiretsu reaches far and wide. And, yeah, it’s complicated.

Also, nice Alphaville reference. I played that god damned song so many freaking times 30-something years ago I wore the tape out.

Even if you can finance it with no money down over 8 years despite a credit score low enough to scare off the payday lenders?

I hope not. I don’t want to see my TV start rusting out in the first three years of use.

The take over in a nutshell.

Neutral: Will The Mitsu-Nissan Deal Work?

Next they'll get Chrysler (and just Chrysler), I presume... XD

The thing I always find funniest about Mitsubishi on it’s way to dying, is that there is a dealership here where I live that started as an Olsmobile dealer, then after they went away they got Suzuki, then after they went away they got Mitsubishi, and now they are on their way out. I keep thinking, Leskovar, will you…

FCA could have benefited greatly from this purchase. Not sure why they did not try to do this first. They could have gotten the Triton for Ram and had Mitsibishi’s plant in Illinois to continue building the 200 for them. Mitsu could have gotten a new Galant and they both could develop some much needed SUV’s for Mitsu,…

The philosophy of the artwork relates to the idea of the sacred feminine.

Oh cool, white dude asking 100 women to pose nude for difficult-to-decipher performance peice about “the sacred feminine” for a bunch of people who are already too dense to give a shit about women. Thank you, smart arty man, for figuring out how to communicate for us! We should’ve just been holding up mirrors and…

Maybe it’s just me, but somehow I get the sense that Trump fans aren’t going to recognize this as art/protest and simply will go “HURR DURR! LOOKIT THEM NAKED BROADS!!!”

BALLS.

Neutral: I wish someone would join up with me. ...We can talk about sweaters....

‘shopping aint easy brother

On top of Ghosn dealing with the tension between the two Japan giants, there’s also Renault with its 43% ownership of Nissan and how Renault has been pushing their agenda recently with French government increasing their ownership. Something the Renault Nissan alliance has openly been against.

An entire Morning Shift about cars brands on my “do not buy” list, wow. Almost hit the whole list too!

I’m not sure that Carlos knows what he’s in for with Mitsubishi’s leadership. My former boss owned a Mitsubishi truck dealership (think flat-nose box trucks), and was going to buy or crate a Mitsu car dealership. He spent two decades learning and dealing with the reasons the Japanese Mitsubishi leadership actually…
