unintended consequences...

1) Nissan outs Mitsubishi for cheating on fuel economy ratings of 2 Kei cars it supplies to Nissan for re-badging.

2) Mitsubishi's share price tanks 50% as cheating is revealed to affect possibly all of its JDM cars.

3) Nissan swoops in and buys a huge stake in Mitsubishi Motors, effectively taking control of the company.

Well played, Nissan!

Nissan buying $2.2 billion controlling stake in scandal-hit Mitsubishi Motors
