Nissan and Renault to merg

Thanks Bas.
 
Datnault? Ressan? I can't wait to see what kind of quality Re;No brings to Dat Motor Company:

Masujiro Hashimoto founded the Kaishinsha Motor Car Works A Good Company Automobile Manufacturer) 1 July 1911; 106 years ago in Tokyo's Azabu-Hiroo district, Japan's first automobile manufacturer. In 1914, the company produced its first car, called DAT.

The new car's model name was an acronym of the company's investors' surnames:

It was renamed to Kaishinsha Motorcar Co., Ltd. in 1918, and again to DAT Jidosha & Co., Ltd. (DAT Motorcar Co.) in 1925. DAT Motors built trucks in addition to the DAT and Datsun passenger cars. The vast majority of its output were trucks, due to an almost non- existent consumer market for passenger cars at the time, and disaster recovery efforts as a result of the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake. Beginning in 1918, the first DAT trucks were produced for the military market. At the same time, Jitsuyo Jidosha Co., Ltd. produced small trucks using parts, and materials imported from the United States.


Not sure if almost 20-year-old news still classifies as "news"

Old habits die hard, sir.
 
Interestingly Vauxhall was recently acquired by Peugeot.
 
And though based at Hethel, Lotus is now majority owned by Chinese.
