Ghosn seeking partnership with US automaker again



According to the French newspaper Le Parisien, Renault-Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn is on the hunt again for a U.S. partner.

Geez, Ghosn Bonaparte what's next?

They talk about how crappy the American makes are. Yet when there's trouble on the horizon, they want our help.

Re: Ghosn seeking partnership with US automaker again

Absolutely amazing!!!

The man has enough problems with Renault-Nissan... and now he wants a partner, which would further complicate the mix???

To me, it looks like he's trying to CHA because his current initiatives are failing. And it all started with Nissan pulling out of California.

Re: Ghosn seeking partnership with US automaker again

He is very bright operator. He is a Brazilian/Lebanese who went to France to become the National Operations manager of Michelin at 24.He then went after he joined Renault to help Nissan turn around and he did that in a year. I would not count Carlos Ghosn out of doing something like that in the US.
