If you ask me, the Hyundai-Kia Automotive Group, and not the Nissan-Renault Alliance should have acquired Mitsubishi Motors, because to put it simply; early Hyundai products were to Mitsubishi Motors what the Zastava/Yugo Koral was to Fiat.
From the 1970’s-2000’s, Hyundai products had utilized Mitsubishi Motors platforms and componentry.
As a result, if you ask me; the Hyundai-Kia Automotive Group purchasing Mitsubishi Motors, Hyundai’s former backer who had taught the Hyundai Motor Corporation everything they need to know regarding developing, designing, building, marketing, and selling Automobiles; would be the perfect firm to purchase Mitsubishi Motors.
A purchase of Mitsubishi Motors by the Hyundai-Kia Automotive Group could be considered as the Hyundai Motor Corporation coming full circle; as Hyundai was once dependent on Mitsubishi Motors for platforms, componentry, and technology; and now, as of the 21st Century, Mitsubishi Motors is unable to function, and survive on its own.
