Paris informs Tokyo it wants Renault and Nissan to integrate[*]

A French government delegation has informed Tokyo that it would seek an integration of Renault and Nissan, most likely under the umbrella of a single holding company, the Nikkei reported on Sunday.

The delegation, which included French government-designated Renault director Martin Vial, also said that it wanted to name Nissan's next chairman, according to the report. Nissan was not immediately available for comment.

Nissan ex-chairman Carlos Ghosn, arrested and detained in Tokyo since Nov. 19, has been indicted in Japan on charges of under-reporting his salary for eight years through March 2018, and temporarily transferring personal investment losses to Nissan during the global financial crisis. Ghosn has denied all charges.

    Nissan builds a good product and has for many years.

    Actually, any Nissan made before 2000 (the year they merged w/ Renault) is good quality. Since then the quality has been going downhill. They've been having major problems w/ their transmissions and at the shop I work at we routinely have to turn away chassis and suspension work, telling the customer it's a "dealer only" repair.

    Scotty Kilmer sums the issue up quite nicely [youtube.com].
