Here are some more information for Renault Alliance:
Back during the 1980s Renault cars, in alliance with the now defunct American Motors Company [AMC], were sold at American dealers. Once Chrysler purchased AMC, Renault retreated and quit selling cars in the US. A recent announcement by Renault that the U.S. market may once again be a candidate for Renault cars has been met with only tepid enthusiasm by the automotive press. Will Renault return? More importantly: does anyone care?
Renault's exit from the US during the late 1980s was hardly noticed by most consumers. As makers of the tiny LeCar, the compact Alliance, and the midsize Medallion/Eagle Premier, not much distinguished Renault from the competition.
Today, Renault is quite a different company with a very different outlook and product line. Ever since its purchase of the Nissan Motor Company, Renault's focus has shifted from a predominately European stage to a global stage. With Nissan technology incorporated into many current vehicles, Renault quality and reliability levels have risen. This is good news as Renault previously was criticized in the US for building poorly made cars. Better made cars than AMC, but not rising to the quality level that many had expected.
Press reports indicate that Renault will tackle the Chinese market first before even considering the US...if ever. Is it because Americans remember the poorly made Renault products of the past that is behind the company's hesitancy to reenter the market? Or, could it be Renault's perception that America doesn't much like the French right now?
We don't know for sure, but I am guessing that it is a little bit of both. Regardless, a high quality affordable Renault automobile would be a welcome change to the junk sold here a generation ago. Let's hope that Renault has learned a valuable lesson from Nissan on how to build and sell a top quality product. If so, then bring them here.

Renault Sees Sales Slip in 2009
Renault is French automaker that, in alliance with the Japanese automaker Nissan, is the fourth largest automaker in the world. Renault also owns the Romanian automaker Dacia and the Korean automaker Renault Samsung Motors. Renault is strong in France, South America, and Africa, while its partner Nissan's core markets are in Japan, North America, and Southeast Asia. The alliance between Renault and Nissan began in 1999 with each company taking shares in the other company: Renault took a 44% stake in Nissan, and Nissan reciprocated with a 15% share of Renault. The alliance has proved very successful for both companies, with each company complementing the strength of the other. Nissan develops gasoline engines, while Renault concentrates on its traditional strength in diesel engines. Nissan concentrates on North America and Japan where Renault has no presence, while Renault is able to concentrate on Africa and Europe where it has been traditionally stronger than Nissan.
For the 2009 fiscal year, Renault sold a total of 2.309 million units. While this was a 3.1% decrease from 2008, it was smaller that the total market decline of 4.7%. Because the decline was smaller than the overall market, the Renault group actually increased its market share by .1% to a world market share of 3.7%. The Renault brand is currently ranked as the third best-selling passenger car brand in Europe. Renault is also the best-selling brand of light commercial vehicles in Europe, a rank it has held since 1998. The Dacia subsidiary of Renault logged a 91% increase in sales in Europe in 2009, and now has a European market share of 1.3%. The Dacia Logan passenger car has fueled much of this sales increase, and has helped Dacia become one of the ten best-selling brands in France. Renault Samsung Motors has also posted excellent results for 2009, taking a market share of 9.3%. South Korea is now the Renault group's third largest market because of the success of Renault Samsung Motors.

John Paul:
It is true that they are the biggest share holder, but that doesn't make them owner of the company, but they are 50/50 on all of the decisions that are made for both companys. As for them work with GM, well lets just say it will be very interesting to see if they use a Titan engine in a Chevy/GMC Truck, LOL.
Gerald S:
Effectively speaking, if I went in on a pie with you 44% to be exact. You want pie and I want pie, but I will take the whole thing, because technically I own it, does that sound about right to you!
But it is true Renault is majority share holder. Nissan was on the skids back in early 1990. Now we might own the biggest car maker in the world!
