Is that part of the old Nissan + Renault ownership? I thought Nissan is now owned by Mitsi and Honda only

Well....no one knows for certain what the Nissan Renault partnership is at or is headed (Renault does hold 100% ownership of some of Nissan's assets....). As for the Nissan-Mitsu-Honda...the talks failed earlier this year as Nissan didn't like the plans for the holding company (basically didn't want Nissan to be a subsidiary but its own company with Honda footing the bills) and Honda was turned off by the then-CEO (when in reality they just wanted Mitsubishi). With the new CEO on board the current plans seem to be more on restructuring Nissan's internals before heading into any merger with anyone (giving off extra production capacity to other manufacturers - of cars and components, shutting down plants - which for now seems to bring to an end the Vanette and potentially the AD van, sell/lease out Nissan HQ, etc..).

But yeah..the Micra is the outcome of the Nissan-Renault alliance. Thanks to the alliance Mitsubishi revived the Grandis name badge after like nearly a decade. Sadly the Grandis is now a rebadged Renault Symbioz. They really didn't even try to make it look different.

Here is the next

A lot of car money, the car is not from a famous car manufacturer.
I am sure none of them in the Island.

Am I the only one who thinks Honda stole the rear lights for the new CR-V off of Volvo? Like the XC40's lights are shaped exactly like the CR-V )albeith the inner lamp placement and accents are slightly different). This very well could be mistaken for a CR-V if not for the thinner C-pillar and the rear door window shape.

Oh...I am saying this is NOT a CR-V..the other one...Volvo XC40.

I too noticed that. Mostly in the 5th gen CRV. The 6th gen one has a bit different design. Anyway here in SL we don't mistake it for a XC40 as there are few of them.

Won't be long when you won't be able to recognize these in the future. Too many brands and too many models.

Well. Yeah. This particular model looks like a mix and match of a bunch of traditional looking crossover. Rear lights look like it could be from a variant of the current Toyota Harrier.

Then there is the name. The brand name sounds very French and wants to make you feel like you are Touring in a Jet. That is not the Chery on top. The model name follows a very Volvo like convention (funnier when you consider who Volvo actually has partnered with)
