Anyone following the GM-Renault-Nissan issue should head on over to AutoExtremist.

If anything of substance comes out of the meeting when Ghosn and Wagoner sit down face-to-face in Paris, I will be shocked. Ghosn wants answers now, or he is threatening to take his considerably inflated reputation and walk away. I don’t think GM will tell him, “Don’t let the screen door hit your ass on the way out” - but they won’t buy his wild estimates of how much money will be saved in an alliance, either. In short, stick a fork in it, this alliance talk is over.

I’m convinced Pete D lives his whole life between the lines. Great stuff.
