I'd rather them merge with Nissan then Renault or GM. At least Nissan employs Americans. And they're opening plants here in the States whereas GM is closing them. And they purchase parts from US suppliers where GM is more and more buying from Mexico.

Toyota came to the states a long time ago. A lot of their parts now are Hecko en Mexico. Nissan won't be any different. I would rather see Jeep go under altogether than join forces with decidedly unAmerican company. Nothing personal, that's just my opinion. Jeep is an icon. It is an AMERICAN icon. What would really be cool would be for some billionaire with nothing better to do just open up The American Motors Corporation again. I'd love to see a modern day S/C Rambler.

I'd rather it stay American too. GM and Ford aren't American anymore, so what is the option? You forget that Jeep was German for years through Daimler-Chrysler.

I don't have a problem with GM if they did merge. The only issue would be the IFS.
I would drive a Hummer long before I would ever Drive a honda or toyota. Enterprise tried to give me a Toyota Corolla one time as a rental. I said I didn't want that, I wanted a traditional US automaker. So she said what about a Hundai.
I said ok give me the list of what's available. I ended up with a Impala. I liked it.

Id love to have Onstar and XM in my JK. A larger engine option would be cool too, plus many more aftermarket availabilities.
And I see nothing wrong with Hummers. The one I bought my wife is a great alternative to a minivan, and we havent had any problems, except our 4 year old breaking a cupholder.
She wasnt quite ready to be that domestic, and its a comfortable ride on trips and around town.
Just my Opinion.
