They are using Scare Tactics on you Honda,you do know what happens every time Honda Leaders believe the scare tactics.
Leave F1 many times!
Stop many almost finished projects that cost the company a ton of money,set the company back for years and bad image of weak leadership.
The rumor is it's the Japanese Government behind the scenes pushing Honda to safe Nissan because the Japanese Government is afraid China will buy Nissan. The only winner of Honda saving Nissan is Nissan Leadership and stockholders. It will be a negative move for Honda that possibly will hurt them at a very bad time where cash flow and smart future decisions are going to be key!!!
The Japanese Government can save Nissan or just han China from buying Nissan. Like the US government did with GM.
Bottom line is...
Mr Honda wouldn't do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even his more financially sane partner would make sure he didn't!!!
Mr Honda would just poured himself a very good whiskey and sip it in honor of his competitor lose.
Honda and Mitsubishi working together is ok from Automobile to Space
ships.
Mostly on securing raw materials to processing them, new technologies( batteries, manufacturing to electronic) and Financing.
The CEO of Home Depot stated the worse thing they did was to buy a existing hardware lumber store based in Texas rather than building their own stores. The company had a bad reputation with it's customers but the Home Depot leaders thought putting their name on the stores would change that but they kept the employees.
It didn't because the problem ran deep thru that companies whole system and it cost Home Depot more money than building their own stores staff with their own people. To fix the situation they had to replace the people with their own people.
Lesson is... don't buy someone's else problem!!!
Thinking
it's a great business decision!!!
( My idea to buy KTM stands because the employees are good just the upper management needs to be replaced. My gut feeling is the key people in the company turned the company in a Ponzi scheme and that is why they didn't slow down manufacturing numbers even tho there was a selling slowdown. They was trying to cover up something bad by getting more and more business loans and keeping production high. The employees knew something was fishy and the poor employees are the ones who are going to get punished ( layoffs and not getting their earned salary for December). Probably a smart move for the Government raid the company for and upper management homes for fraud
Honda is being bully into going BEV too fast against their own wishes and now being pressure to merge with Nissan. Honda Leaders are being told that move is the only way to survive the China dumping on the market.
My advice is that automobiles are not the future and Honda needs to focus more on their roots( motorcycles) because automobiles are just getting to expensive for the public.
Mr Honda dream was always too turn his company into a Aerospace Company!!!
Motorcycles and Automobiles was just supposed to be a stepping stone.
( Elton Musk stole that idea with Tesla and SpaceX)
The major reason why Honda stated their is no Honda without Racing. Racing
is the closest thing on ground that equals shooting
to the stars feeling.
Senna and Mr Honda was alike because when Senna was on his game his car wasn't touching the ground ( he was in another dimension per his own words...a Hawk thing
).
So instead of waisting money on Nissan,Honda should invest in new manufacturing ideas.
Like max production 3D Printing Manufacturing and new metal alloy making by using 3D printing DNA( powered raw materials used in the furnace and nano processing). That is how you make steel in seconds instead of hours!!!
The BEV Scooter
and Small Motorcycles with exchange battery
are going to be the thing just like the original Honda Cub!!!
Partnering with Red Bull to buy KTM and Husqvarna would be a good move because it will help to standardnise the the exchange battery system globally. Also Red Bull is one of the best promotors of their products ( that is bonus!!!).
In the Limit Sports Car market it might be smart to be the Powertrain supplier to Aston Martin. A place to test new ideas in the real world without worrying about a major recall of 100,000s- millions of vehicles.
Have a better open relationship with each buyer for feedback and fixing the problem like in
racing.
Honda Future is the Honda Rocket
and eVTOL.
