Please go to the "general automotive" forum and read about how there is going to be a likely merger between Nissan and GM.

https://ls1tech.com/forums/automotive-news-media-press/534646-gm-nissan-renault-merger.html

More specifically, Nissan is close to buying a significant portion of GM.

Now maybe there will be less posturing and import badmouthing in this forum.

Not neccessarily on topic but close enough. I post this here because there are so many "hooray--hooray" domestic fans on this site. Please discuss this in the "general automotive" forum.

Good idea to me, GM does need alot of design help for cars other than the Vette.

Show of hands; who's going to start liking imports because of this?

Shame on you domestic owners for liking your cars too much!

Who in here slams a well-built, tasteful Import? I honestly havent seen much, if any, of that behavior in here. One of the reasons I like this place. It is a TRUE enthusiest site. (Even if I cant spell)

agreed, respect here is given where and when it is due, regardless of the moniker on the hood.

just because nissan might buy some of GM doesnt mean im going to respect imports any more than i did before, thats business not taste in cars, dont get me wrong i like a few i have a 1978 datsun 280z in my driveway that im trying to restore, but saying that since nissan might buy some of GM we should respect imports more, whopdedo big f'en deal

hmm weird.. i dont see how it relates to domestic fans given respect to imports though... gm isnt soley based in america as we speak, the new camaro is soposed to be made in austrailia or something. werent third gens built in canada? ... do i give a rats a_$? no. as long as it lives up to its name i could care less. for the economy cars i dont really like gm's economy cars or have any intrest in them or any economy cars for that matter. those are the only cars i could see gm getting alil outside help with. respect comes more from domestic fans to imports then imports give to domestics.. most of them never stop running there mouths about how a civic is the fastest car ever!!! or some bs like that.
