(COMBO) This combination of photos taken on August 1, 2024 shows Makoto Uchida (L), president and CEO of Japanese auto maker Nissan, and Toshihiro Mibe (R), director, president and representative executive officer of auto maker Honda, taking part in a joint press conference in Tokyo. Nissan shares plunged on February 6, 2025 as reports said the struggling Japanese carmaker was walking away from merger talks with rival Honda. Local media said Honda had proposed making Nissan its subsidiary, instead of the previous plan to integrate under a new holding company. (Photo by Richard A. Brooks / AFP) (Photo by RICHARD A.
