Mitsu and Honda would have crazy expectations then, IMO.  The Frontier actually sells decently.   I wonder if Honda would keep the Ridgeline at that point?

I feel like streaming is basically becoming cable at this point with ads, merged groups, etc.     Yikes...

Yea, body-on-frame SUVs are Lincoln's forte in the U.S. market, and the current Gator is not only the best Lincoln product so far but among the best in its class - better than the Slade in certain respects.   Unibody sedans ain't a good fit for Lincoln. The last time they put in the effort fielding such a product to compete with BMW, it was a total flop.  

So… Honda is going to offer a rebadged Mitsubishi pickup for SE Asia, Mitsubishi will offer a Rebadged Nissan PU in the US, but so will Honda, maybe, and of course Nissan is bringing back the Xterra, which is derived from the Frontier. With the huge success Mitsu and Honda are forecasting, Nissan may discontinue the Frontier and build only Honda and Mitsu versions.   You read it here first.

The complaints I hear have nothing to do with capability or SUVs.    The purists I refer to are specifically discussing 3 and 5 series sedans.   Too heavy, too big, too soft, no manuals, too much tech, etc.   No soul (whatever that means).  The mighty M5 has grown into a 5000 pound PHEV.  It certainly does not lack capability but it is not the edgy, raw boned machine of old.   I was a Lincoln buyer for years until they left the sedan market.   I was very surprised when I first drove a 5 series BMW in 2022.   It did the quiet luxury thing better than my Continental.  It was smoother, quieter and more refined.   Lincoln has done a much better job with their SUVs than they did with sedans.   By all accounts, they are among the best even though still based on Ford bones.   What if they put that level of effort into a mid size sedan?   As has already been said, if Ford does a sedan based off the Mustang, a Lincolnized version might make sense.

From Automotive News, this article is about a supply agreement between Honda and Mitsubishi and Southeast Asia, but then mentions a pending agreement between Honda and Nissan in North America based on a family of ladder-frame trucks.
