As a medium sized company, they certainly do not benefit from economies of scale like larger manufacturers do. They could possibly be interested in Mazda.
Same would hold true of Mitsubishi, Fiat, or a few other comapnies I can think of.

With the financial crisis going over to Europe and Asia, how long they might resist to the merger idea or to a latter extent a "alliance idea"? Christian Streiff, current CEO of Peugeot-Citroen, begin to think of an alliance similar to what Ghosn did with Renault-Nissan. On the other hand, could Honda step for buy a entire company while they still have lots of money?
I would had wished for Suzuki to get Mazda. Since Suzuki did an agreement with Mazda to have some Suzuki models rebadged as Mazdas, they may have more common points then we taught.
