    Nissan Upbeat on FCA-Renault Merger

      ...as long as the price is right....

    A Nissan executive who has declined to be identified is upbeat about the possible FCA-Renault merger according to a report by AutoBlog.  The deal, estimated at about $35 billion, would not give FCA the right to use Nissan technology via the Nissan-Renault alliance. 

    The executive said he was optimistic about possible synergies of using Nissan's green and electric vehicle know-how in other vehicles. He also raised the possibility that Nissan could increase its stake, currently 15%, in Renault or FCA-Renault.  Without increasing their stake, Nissan's share of the resulting company would be cut to 7.5%.  FCA-Renault however, would continue to hold 43.4% of Nissan. 

    Examples of some of the sharing could be Nissan's advanced engine technology currently used in Infiniti as a possible benefit for Alfa Romeo and Jeep. 

    FCA and Renault for their part are still negotiating with each other and with the French government which wants job and production guarantees. Renault is said to have a decision on the merger by end of this week.

    Assume this merger is allowed and goes through.  Then eventually, Nissan will want to fully merge with Renault FCA. 

    Two questions: will the French government divest itself of Renault? And who will cut the number of cars and car makes in order to rationalize the new firm?

    • This is Angeles Crest Highway, right after a tunnel...    Ive never been to California but Ive seen many videos on youtube of this exact location that I googled and posted here.  It seems to me that this is a death stretch of road.  Many videos of all kinds of cars going really really fast in the tunnel and they come out and go boom!!! Near death accidents but some actual gruesome deaths too. The latest death...Vince Zampella, co-creator of Call of Duty video game.   I got a video, but I will not post it as it shows the accident in full detail and his passenger being ejected and dragged by bystanders clear of the fiery wrecked Ferrari.  And its as clear as it could be. Nothing blurred.    I was wonderin' Why do people INSIST on speeding like with crazy amounts of speed on public roads and especially on stretches of roads where deaths do happen? 55 years old and his passenger unknown to the public. Just before Christmas where even atheists acknowledge the importance of the 25th of December which is about family and friends and love.  And these two guys are now dead and leave behind friends and family morning for them instead of celebrating their lives full of love with them.   *sigh*       
    • Yeah, the stupid f*ckers that are in the KY bourbon industry all voted for Trump, and now they are whining about the tariffs destroying their business.  F them, they got what they voted for.  Same with the whiny-ass Midwestern farmers that voted for Trump.  You reap what you sow..
    • I once read that really, really rich people whose lives and occupations aren't really in the public eye can be understated and drive simpler cars and/or keep them for a long time.  Rich people like that also tend to be a lot nicer.
    • Point on, but it does miss one very important point, this is OLD OUTDATED Thinking by Idiot47 and his administration. Living in the past of Empire building is something the old 1% that are already 1 foot in the grave are trying to hold onto. They think that they can move into a synthetic body based on Moron Musk and his experiments with chips in the brain. The 1% want to live forever and rule for ever and that will not happen. Just as many rich families became broken up and the wealth eventually redistributed, the U.S. is looking at great wealth redistribution over the next decade as these idiots die and their idiot kids who have never learned how to work hard take over the family wealth and believe they were born to rule. Eventually this will pass and smarter people will work to patch things up, but it will never be the way it was before Idiot47 took office as his administration, now the most corrupt in history next to Putin and North Korea and China will attempt to hold on. While I am a wine guy and support PNW wines, I am fine with the south bourbon / whiskey companies failing. They wanted this and deserved to lose it all. Let these companies die and the people who support this criminal approach to humanity die with them.
