Thoughts on the new merge?

>>16038018
GREEEEAAAAAT now the two companies will merge into an EVEN BIGGER conglomerate at some point. Fuck Nissan, fuck Renault, and fuck Mitsubishi. They can take their shitty econoboxes made of plastic softer than >ABS< and declare bankruptcy.

they would create the ultimate weeb machine

Considering Nissan was the worst car I've ever had the misfortune to drive, nothing with then can be good.

>tfw almost fell for the incredibly cheap new car meme
>test drove the car and went and bought a Toyota instead

Toyota is the only Japanese brand one should ever buy.

Toyota is also the only American brand one should buy.

I think literally 70% of vehicles I see on the road (excluding semi trucks and the ilk) are Toyota at this point. They just have the winning recipe of affordability and reliability meets manageable comfort that others can't beat.

>>16038112
Mazda? Subaru? Hello?

Toyota doesn't make magical machines that suit every interest ever. I agree that Nissan and Mitsu are some of the worst brands to ever exist on this earth, barring Fiat, but independent car companies like Mazda and Subaru will always be the best just for the fact that they aren't owned by a conglomerate who's only purpose is to line the pockets of the CEO, who probably drives a CVT Yaris to and from work.

>>16038105
>a car made of Wakfu, Initial D and Monogatari
FUCKING UNF

Renault-Nissan is proving to be as big as a clusterfuck as the unholy duo that was Daimler-Chrysler was.

Mazda and Subaru make sportier, more interesting cars with better features.

Honda makes more reliable econoboxes.

Toyota has the Tacoma and that's about it.

Renault is doing some neat things

If only they could snatch the AWD system from mitsu or Nisshon

>>16038248
Concept cars mean jack shit. Even Peugeot make some sikk concepts but their road cars are fucking dire.

>>16038320
this is going in production thought
but it cost 40 K..

>>16038320
It's not much of a concept since it's a clio RS with the engine and gearbox of the megane trophy-R.

It's going to have a 500 production run and it's going to be very expensive though.

>>16038325
>40 grand for a 1.6l 5 door hatchback

Someone post that picture of Carlos Ghosn and the Mitsubishi bloke.

>>16038374
it's a 2 liter thought and they're will be only 500 i doubt they don't sell
but i doubt they're making a lot of money on it either

>>16038406

>>16038018
>Opinions?
Meh
>Predictions?
More boring commuter cars from companies that can't compete because normal people fell for the Toyota and Honda meme.

Not expecting any kind of performance cars or anything to "shake up" the industry. I expect eh evo to die and their line upp to remain bland and stagnant.

And it's lighter.
And it a proper diff.
And a stiff chassis.
And michelin cup tyres.

It will eat alive both of them. The only thing that might out perform it is the focus.

>>16038534
That's odd. All the reviewers said it corners very well and out performs the competition on the street, like a civic type R for example. Could it be that you are talking out of your ass?
>>16038554
Why yes, you are talking out of your ass indeed.

>>16038594
*has a proper diff

>>16038554
So I'm guessing you've never driven a Renault. Make up your own opinion by actually driving one instead of parroting opinions of retards who have only driven the Megane2/Laguna2, fucking retard.

>>16038544
Bro i go to f1 MTL every year and the place is fuckin packed

Every seat is sold out

>>16038618
>So I'm guessing you've never driven a Renault.

I regularly work on them, they're fucking awful. Only Citoren is worse. My garage used to have a "no french" policy and we're strongly considering bringing it back, since changing the air filter on a Citroen C4 is a 3 hour job

>>16038709
Right, If you say so I'm sure you do...

>>16038739
I also used to drive a Clio, didn't like it much, traded it for a Hyundai Accent which was marginally faster but had a vague as fuck gearbox

>>16038743
Right, if you say so I'm sure you do.

>>16038746
And your experience with Renault is what, shitposting about muh french god machine on /o/?

>>16038618
the Laguna 2 felt like a dream to drive
sometimes the rear doors didn't close and
the gearbox failed at 150 k miles
but it was nice

Great chassis, relatively good engines and power output despite the small numbers, good gearboxes. Great suspensions. 1.5 DCI is one of the best econobox diesel engine out there, even used by mercs. Second best sellers in Europe, behind VW, in front of Ford. Used to have dodgy electronics but after 2010, they really stepped up and Renault never suffered from suspensions issues like Jap cars or engine issues like VAG. So whatever you say fucboi, keep parroting your bullshit. Out maturating on my R5 turbo

>>16038786
I drove a Laguna I to the scrapyard a few month back, seats were comfy enough but it was as slushbox 1.4 with holes in the floor from rust so I can't really speak to the true quality

>>16038794
So parroting a bunch of shit from autoblogs and praising sales as if that matters, then talking about 3 year old cars as if the company that made it isnt long dead. Top shit mate

*30 year old cars

I freely admit that Reanult puts out 2 or 3 good cars every couple of decades, but I don't see the current lineup being that. That said, I wouldn't say no to a 3.0 DCi Laguna Coupe

>>16038798
Second addendum, checking wikipedia it says that the smallest engine you could get in a laguna I was a 1.6, so it was probably that. I see a lot of shit cars, so they all kinda blend together

>>16038594
It will never touch them in a straight line but it might give them trouble in the corners. But not much trouble.

>>16039409
They will just become rebadges of each other

I thought it was just Nissan acquiring ~37% of Mitsubishi

Imagine Navarra-L200 and Pajero-Patrol babbys.

>>16039937
That would be giving them majority shares, so they would in fact be the new owners

I expect lots of rebadging, shitty CVTs, and for the next Lancer (a rebadged Pulsar or something) to have a slightly better interior.

>Any nissan/renault/mitsubishi owners to share their thoughts on this?
I know it's never going to happen but it'd be nice if they decided to go all out on performance in Mitsu. Add a Ralliart model to everything, co-develop a new RWD platform for a turbo Silvia/Starion revival to snatch prospective Toyobaru buyers, Evo doesn't die, etc.

Realistically it won't happen, though. It'll be crossovers, commuters, and more crossovers.
