From a non-Jalop business perspective, Nissan has a lot of North American production capacity. I'm not sure if Honda has tapped-out theirs, but off the top of my head I can think of 1 or 2 Nissan plants in the south, and another in Mexico. A few things come to mind: 1) We don't yet know how the potential tariff debacle might work out. Most Hondas sold in the US are probably made here, but I'm sure they're thinking about this. 2) The low-cost end of the new car market is notably shrinking. Having a Mexico plant might allow Honda to compete in a market niche under the Civic, and 3) related to 2, does Honda have much market presence in Mexico, Central & South America? My impression is that Nissan does. Acquiring Nissan plants on this side of the globe might present opportunities for Honda. (I'm thinking about all of this in terms of market share and production capacity, not the brand, model, or origin of any individual car or truck.)
