Nissan-Renault still looking for an American partner
Their talks with General Motors might have broken down but Nissan Renault are still looking for a possible collaboration with an American automobile company.
Nissan spokeswoman Mia Nielsen said in a statement: “We remain convinced that the Renault-Nissan alliance could be extended to work with additional partners. From a strategic perspective and under the right conditions a North American partner could make sense.”
Ford is coming out to be an obvious candidate as the only other leading US based automaker is Chrysler, which has already been absorbed by DaimlerChrysler.
Another market analyst Harald Hendrikse said on this topic: “For the Nissan-Renault alliance to be able to remain competitive against Toyota they need to be present on the North American market with a significant market share. And on the American market there are only two candidates — GM or Ford.”
