    The funds will be used to modernize internal systems at its headquarters and accelerate digital modernization and the rollout of AI-driven systems

    If a signigicant portion of those funds are going to AI, they are doomed.

    Lolol the lengths a CEO will go to protect their ego. (Rather than be a subsidiary to Honda because he wants to be an equal partner.)

      To be fair, Honda isn’t exactly a great company today either, it’s been a good 20 years since they made a decent car.

      Honda E is the closet thing they’ve got to something decent, but overbuilt to the max and therefore 3x more expensive than it should be.

          I’ll be honest, it’s tempting. And I don’t even like small hatchbacks.

          The three pedals, the power rating that’s not massive, but quite a bit of punch for such a small car…

          But then I remember that my back hurts and I can get a super comfy cruiser from Germany that has a lot more luggage space and is significantly more comfortable, though way less fun to drive… For half the price of the Type R, if I go used. I could also get the Type R for half off, but I have to go older for that, and then we’re talking about a bunch of kilometers on a high-strung 2.0 four pot, versus a similar power rating and kilometers on a 3 liter diesel, which to me sounds like the engine is a lot less stressed.

          It’s funny, the Type R isn’t great value for me because it doesn’t depreciate enough. For the people who buy them new, this is the opposite of course - it’s great value because it doesn’t depreciate too much.

        Yeah, the Rogue is a joke! We have had two and they both were/are shit and have so many recalls and issues, it’s absurd! Fuck em!

    Also Thursday, Nissan reported a 221.9 billion yen ($1.4 billion) loss for the fiscal first half. It recorded a 19.2 billion yen profit during the same period a year ago.

    What the fuck happened to their sales ? Did China kill it ?
