I merged the headline and the first paragraph.
Honda and Nissan have formally agreed to hold talks over the next six months on a possible merger, a deal that would create the world’s third-largest automaker and give them more resources to compete with a growing threat from Chinese carmakers.
my first question. I bet they combine them as two full names. like Honda-Nissan instead of a new mixto name.
like DaimlerChrysler or Weyland Yutani.
In the West they’d come up with some terrible meaningless name like Stellantis, but Japan has names like Bandai Namco, Sega Sammy Holdings and Square Enix, so Honda Nissan might be a possibility.
Hondasan for Japanese dad vibes
