Nissan and Chrysler may build cars and trucks together

[Rogue240sx]

Jesus fucking christ it's a partnership not a merger what's the big fucking deal?

Nissan might want a diesel and dodge might want a small 4 cylinder engine. Nissan could use some pointers on heavy duty 4x4 chassis and dodge could certainly use some help on passenger car suspension.

Why is everyone so pissed off here? the worst that would happen is a few new models pop up. if they suck the co-op will fade and they'll go their separate ways. Not a huge deal although the CARB (read that as "half assed attempt to control pollution") problem does suck i don't think it'll be that bad of a hit against Nissan and it could only help Mopar.


edit: not to be a bigot but there isn't much difference manufacture to manufacturer do to the overly strict regulations in Nascar. The only thing really different is the engines and they're limited in power anyway. Manufacturers don't really have a pull there it's more of the individual teams that depict if a car has what it takes to win in Nascar.

Exactly, I dont know what kind of argument you're trying to make there. Now especially with the Car of Tomorrow the manufacturer makes no difference. All the bodies are identical. And it's not like the Nascar Charger and the stock Charger share any single part. Did you watch the race? Toyota dominated it (as much as that sickens me). The two Dodges caught a lucky break on the last lap. Teamwork was the only reason that a Dodge was in victory lane instead of a Toyota. But either way, thats completely irrelavent to anything.
