This should have been resolved years ago, but better late than never. I'm happy that Nissan is finally getting more freedom, especially since they are larger than Renault as a whole globally and have a major presence in the US, where Renault has been absent for over 30 years, although Renault's Alpine brand is planning on coming to the US by 2027 or 2028. This will be a huge milestone as it will mark the first time an actual French car brand has sold cars in the US since Peugeot's exit in the early 90s. Hopefully, the Renault brand will return to the US as well.
The same Nissan that threw their CEO under a bus? I dont know why Renault is still trusting these clowns and the clowns that run the Japanese "justice" system.
@Mani Carlos Ghosn was ruining Nissan management-wise and quality wise too. He is the main cause of why Nissan is struggling and he did a bunch of illegal acts so it was obvious that he needed to go. With him gone, Nissan along with Mitsubishi and Renault are both going to make a recovery.
@@AtillatheFun He only helped when Nissan was near bankruptcy. Granted he did help the company financially a few years after the alliance was formed, but later he started to make some bad decisions and began to hammer Nissan’s overall business. He was literally chasing after how many units Nissan can sell. There’s also a reason why Nissan at one point had that reputation for being a car brand that people with bad credit can buy. They also sold a lot to rental fleets and incentivized them too, and as a result their resale value was diluted badly. And he didn’t even focus on making the cars good, he just kept milking the same old designs with such cheap low quality. As an example, look at the 2013 Nissan Versa. That car basically summed up how Ghosn ran the company. On the other hand, the new Nissan Versa is not only better looking, but also has better quality too.
In South Africa, Nissan runs an under utilised manufacturing plant while Renault is selling lots and lots of imported models. If they can share plants and dealerships to reduce import duties and sales costs, they'd stand a chance against a wave of Chinese autos.
After Carlos Ghosn left from both companies, both of them started making much higher quality cars (at least in Europe). The new Renault models are now just as good, if not better in terms of quality than Volkswagen. The new Nissan Ariya, X-Trail and Qashqai all have great quality interiors, much better than Toyota and I would say they are comparable to Lexus (on the top spec Techna+ models)
A fantastic indepth analysis thanks guys😀👍Say what you will about carlos , He did turn Nissan around and make both renault and nissan profitable but at expense of nissan's identity😀😎
@@littledudefromacrossthestr5755 do you want 100 million new refugees fleeing into America? Japan's entire economy will collapse without the car industry
imho,, the true winner from this alliance is Renault Renault get leaps on technicality, technologies and expertise from Mitsubishi and Nissan while Nissan and Mitsubishi probably just receive money from Renault, which *was* they desperately need
I'm driving renault pulse (india) aka nissan micra (india) which is one of the best hatchback to drive but renault couldn't sell it may be due to marketing or may be very slow upgrade... but eventually kwid, tribes, and kiger makes good come back. Irrespective of my car discontinued I can bet renault pulse is one of the best hatchback to drive in india
Some of the recent renault & nissan car are just okay enough. Nothing to get you excited or even competitive price wise.. With a short warranty and poor after service
Nope, the Japanese government won't allow that to happen in Nissan's case. They actually tried to convince Honda before to buy them out, but Honda wasn't interested.
Nissan quality sure went downhill since the Renault partnership. Nissan used to make reliable vehicles, right up there with Toyota & Honda. Nowadays Nissans are absolute rubbish & as Scotty Kilmer would say, "Endless money pits as they age".
Maybe the Japanese government should just bail them out and buy them out in a 5-10 year restructuring deal that includes firing all of management and restructuring that mess. Then setup a plan for Nissan to buy itself back from the government and be independent again under full Japanese control.
In INDIA Nissan and Renault both are in a edge of an exit coz both brands car ain't selling much as they expected . Last launched new model is about a year ago There mostly exporting manufactured car here than selling it here .
India is big continent where it's demography is very unique. A model that sells in India sometimes do not sell well globally, and vice versa. Whover going to India, will have to invest now model just to cater indian market.
after all it wasnt the normal man on the street that put them where they are was it. it was a well known fault yet no recall . you would think they could afford it .
Renault just need new brand logo and Nissan just need new Cvt transmission that build better than Honda and Toyota. introduced new cvt trans at world stage and give 10 years warranty on cvt transmission. I bet they can sell more cars than before.
Renault (French) destroyed Nissan’s reputation. China products are cheap in all levels. Including tires. XTerra will be Nissan-Honda product. US government saved GM. Now Japan and Honda will support Nissan and will succeed. Sports car and Trucks will come back STRONG
doubt they are going to refund us for the well know faulty automatic gear box they supplied. yes there excuse for me was i had not had it serviced at nissan big brother station i lost 5000 euros 6 months money at a time my mother was dying but hey ho big brothere dosnt care about that . or the proper small family run mechanic who knows more about cars than they will ever know. at least they replied to me when i emailed them hey wow little old me . dont worry soon the woerld will only deal with big brother and there will me no vraftsman ship left .
I own a 2019 Nissan Titan, XD pro 4X with the diesel, I personally think it’s the best truck out there it’s underrated and there’s very few problems if maintains correctly. I really feel that Nissan should have gave this truck more time. I get so many compliments from people that own Ford and Chevys and Dodge . as you can see in the photo, I tow a fifth wheel, and No matter where I go people always wanna know about the truck and how it’s doing. it’s my retirement, truck.👍
With almost 60 years of age I kept my doubts on the current environment. But Amazons AMM77X is seriously smart, it doesn't matter how old you are, this will provide for you and your family which is my only goal in the last years I have to make sure the children are fine
I was sure last year would end terrible for me but I think Amazons AMM77X is spot on with what they do and how they do it. Can't say for how long it's going to work and for sure it is overyhped right now but even if just half a year or something it would be smart to ride the wave and then jump away eventually, but the reason why this is smart right now is because it's so cheap, won't ever find a better entry than now
2023 is really surprising me now that Amazons AMM77X hit the road. After all these years of barely reading anything good I was usually just shutting down any type of media influence as much as I can but this brings back good lights and it should give hope to some of you that no matter what is going on in the world at the end something good comes to surface
I want to let you know that Amazons AMM77X made it this year. Any better way to start a global change? Don't get me wrong I know they are not like altruists or something but they keep doing the right thing to improve the situation, power the ecomonmy and so much more. We need players like them and we can always jump in the train at good spots such as this one
If Amazons AMM77X is everywhere you should probably ask yourself why that is the case? Obviously the move we have here is beyond what we had in the last 10 years or so. This comes with a plan, a plan which will make us survive when we can finally make own decisions and start to become independent. I know it sounds a bit odd that THIS company out of all of them is endorsing this living style but if you follow the lead you might understand why and how that works. I'm just leaving this here, might be useful to some
Interesting talk about Amazons AMM77X I suggest anyone to listen to the guy talking about it in the video. Personally I didn't think they would really do that but seems like the launch just happened and there are enough slots available, could be worth huh

Nissan was ruined when it joined Renault, it lost its soul and reliability.
Renaults were actually reliable here in Europe before the merger with Nissan. My family for example had a Mk1 Laguna sedan with 230.000 km at the end.
Without Renault Nissan was already dead like 20 years ago
Always felt like Nissan was smothered by Renault and it’s Euro French aesthetic and business culture. Nissan will rise again, on its own!
Hopefully Nissan’s build quality can recover after the departure of Renault.
bye bye 1.5 dci engine
Nissan's mostly just have a transmission issue, their engines are fine

He stole reliability from Nissan customers. He’s a crook. The public eventually caught on. He’s not a winner. He’s a shister.

So true
Nissan went from my go-to company for a reliable vehicle to one I'm skeptical of after the Renault partnership and meddling.
I’ve always loved Datsun/Nissan. I’ve owned 8 and they were all good, even the CVT’s. But I wish Nissan was completely independent.
No survival, for both, without Ghosn.
I hope they do away with the CVT transmission, that's all I ask
You know they won't. RIP Nissan, the damage has been done.
I hate CVT
Stockholm syndrome with jatco
Jatco CVT is here to stay sadly
Renalt ruined Nissan. Nissan in the 90s were making fantastic cars. Now they make uninspired cheap junk
Uninspired and unreliable. 1990s Nissans were on point.
Maybe the Japanese government should just bail them out and buy them out in a 5-10 year restructuring deal that includes firing all of management and restructuring that mess. Then setup a plan for Nissan to buy itself back from the government and be independent again under full Japanese control.
Good thing Renault has 15% now, which leaves nissan to make most of the decisions for themselves.
In 5 minutes I'm more confused, great work WSJ. And with these 2 CEOs, I'm not sure if we will see Nissan in the next decade. 🤣
the shakeup brought carlos to work for wsj
Wut ?
If anything, nissan got worse and the others (Renault, Mitsubishi) got better. Nissan is a shadow of its former self.
Going by the AMC-Renault partnership, so long Nissan.

Bye bye
Who?
Mitsubishi technically falls under the Nissan umbrella since Nissan is the majority owner or Mitsubishi.
Find out how now at your local "Nissan-Mitsuibishi-Renault" dealership.
It's clearly Renault and Nissan lost their way after taking down Carlos Ghosn, the both CEOs cannot even make eyes contact..
Both car brands are not that desirable and don’t have strong brand awareness, they will we eventually fold. I guess in ten years time
Good news: the Sentra is better than the Corolla, and the Frontier is better than the Tacoma.
