Nissan’s board is planning to reject Honda’s terms for a combination of the two automakers, putting in danger a merger plan announced less than two months ago, people familiar with the matter said Wednesday.

Japan's Nissan may call off its merger talks with Honda, according to a person familiar with the matter, adding that Nissan's board members were due to meet in the near future to decide a course of action.

There's strife of the horizon as Nissan vehemently opposes Honda's suggestion of making the struggling carmaker its subsidiary.
