Now Renault is going to pick up the pieces at GM and take over the bankrupt operations

It wil be interesting to watch how they will divide it up and how they handle the union contracts

The most difficult part is to handle the enormous debt and possibly best to sell off everything and then change the name to Renault-GM of the new owner and leave the problems behind

It will be more organised bankruptcy

According to this Business Week Online article,

this is not a done deal. So far, it is a matchmakeing attempt on the part of Kirk Kerkorian's Tracinda Corp.

Does she explain why excellently made cars like the Altima were just recalled do to faulty designs? Yet Americans are so stupid they still buy them? Americans were so stupid the dealers were told not to sell them anymore because the Americans were so brainwashed into thinking if its Japanese its gotta be good.

This applies to the 2.5l, not the 3.5l engine. The 2007 is due out soon. Looks nice.

Is this more Bush brain washing?

Rational thought must not be one of your more notable characteristics.

How good of Nissan to publicly recall the cars with this problem and not try to sweep it under the carpet like GM did with their V6 gasket problem which went on so long and cost so many owners so much to repair. Good for you Nissan!

Recalls are generally not a big deal for customers.

Getting stuck with a defect and having to pay for it yourself is what pissed off customers.

Agreed. I've always been confused about the consumer reports preoccupation with recalls. I can't tell if they're good or bad. Would you rather buy a car that's had 5 problems fixed, or one that hasn't? The answer is: you can't tell from that information. That's the answer for people with higher thinking skills. If you have no thinking skills, you can pick an answer easily, but I'm not sure which one you'd pick.
