Nissan To Supply Small Cars To Chrysler For US Market

Im not a huge fan of American cars either but man... Just when all was quiet you came along to troll and bring nothing insightful.

How old are you anyway?

American cars used to be trash but no longer. Fit and finish today rivals the worlds best except for a few bloopers like the 2008 Saturn Vue which was a complete disappointment to me and my wife when we looked at it as possibly filling our need fro a small urban SUV in a winter climate.

Please note also that the domestics in North America have caught up with foreign engines in technology like DOHC, variable valve timing etc.

Read the whole article you moron! "Nissan and Chrysler are also in talks to supply cars, trucks and powertrains to one another in order to minimize development costs and reach larger markets."
It looks like Nissan needs some of Chrysler's technology too. Sharing technology helps both companies save money. US and foreign manufacturers have been doing this for years. Of course, "guffwave" you sound like you're about 12 years old so you wouldn't know.

If you didn't notice they are going to share parts. So its a two way deal. Chrysler agreed to this deal if Nissan would supply a vehicle to fill its sub-campact void. Too bad they can't do that for your brain...

Do you know that BMW uses automatic transmissions sourced from GM on some of its cars?

Do you know that the classic pushrod V8 still used in modern uplevel Bentleys is based on a GM engine design from the 1950s?

Do you know that the new Ferrari 599GTB uses magnetic ride control, a system developed for and used by Cadillac since the 1990s? It is built by Delphi - a subsidiary of GM.

You are a moron.

If you want to talk Europe vs. America in technology, then talk about how Boeing's new 787 is threatening to put Airbus out of business. Boeing built the 747 in the late 1960's. Why is the European jumbo jet facing 3 year delays?

don't waste yur time...it's only a matter of time before the agent's kick this troll out of town.

for some reason I always thought Bose started the magnetic ride...I guess it was more exposure on auto review shows.

never the less it's a great technology, and from my rememberance from the LS they used it on (heavier vehicle) it did substantially well.


now on topic, good move by chrysler, better to out source their best way back into the business than struggle and try and stay in business. another thing is Chrysler is supposedly in talks with an Indian buy-out, if true that means withing the past 6-months about 4-5 major auto manufacturers would be based out of India.

india is more and more looking to be the next technological powerhouse. last time i visited india, from a little 8x8 foot shack i would have been able to purchase, probably, the best available desktop tower for home use. the advancement they've made is really amazing, and it's a majority of them as well.

Audi used to use GM airconditioners -- not sure if they used automatic trannys as well.

By the way, Boeing does make the world's best airliners -- I know this from my previous life in the aerospace industry.

Plenty of German makes use GM parts.

EnnNorak - Have you looked at a Ford Edge. Very nice and everyone I know that ownes one loves that SUV.

As for Topic this is nothing new. Auto makes frequently build cars for eachother. Japan's not so open market is reluctant to allow other makes to build for their auto makers, but they are willing to build cars for foreign makes. How nice of them...lol. Chrysler is the only Big3 make willing to put up with Ghosn.
