Renault and Nissan are already a partnership. You can't get one without the other looks like!

My first "New" car was a '57 Renault Dauphine. This was even before Le Car came on the scene. There were many different foreign cars on market back then and being short on money (As usual !!) I went for the cheapest one.
$1,600.00!! Most of the other makes were either German or British and except for a very few, they all went belly up. The Renault was OK in the nice weather, but it sure wasn't made for New York's Winter weather. In the end they turned out to be rust buckets!

Its all about the money! Its not that either of the 3 parties involved could help the other members build better cars its just something to get a bump in the stock prices so that the "investors" (blood suckers) can profit. If GM will continue with the comeback plan that they are on now, making interesting, appealing and affordable cars the stock prices will take care of itself and then the "investors" can profit. Bottom line, "No Sir. I don't like it, I don't like it at all!" Kevorkian would like nothing more than to see GM busted up and sold off in parcels.
