Sorry, my bad. Still think this is inevitable though having more and more manufacturers sharing simply to stay afloat. Margins are too small in overcrowded segments.

Platform sharing isn't anything new. But these moves by Renault, Nissan and Mitsubishi just takes it to a whole new level.
If anything it will be damaging to their brands. And will have customers just going to whoever has the cheapest one considering they will pretty much be the same thing. |

An alternative view on the Triton/Navara situation.
https://www.carexpert.com.au/news/ni...ook-identical/ “The brand, the ‘Nissan-ness’, will be determined by the upper body. But if you look back, in relations with Renault, because we had the challenging volume task, each partner tried to minimise cannibalisation as much as possible. “As a result we looked for significant differentiation between the two and the result was less efficiency in investment. But it doesn’t mean we are [now] going to adopt identical upper bodies… that’s not our intention."

Nissan and Mitsubishi used to have a reputation for reliability. Renault were famous for unreliability. French electrics were notorious. With Nissan and Mitsubishi becoming just rebadged Renaults who will want to buy them?
