Exactly, I dont know what kind of argument you're trying to make there. Now especially with the Car of Tomorrow the manufacturer makes no difference. All the bodies are identical. And it's not like the Nascar Charger and the stock Charger share any single part. Did you watch the race? Toyota dominated it (as much as that sickens me). The two Dodges caught a lucky break on the last lap. Teamwork was the only reason that a Dodge was in victory lane instead of a Toyota. But either way, thats completely irrelavent to anything.

Well we can put this discussion to bed. Ghosn says we're in recession.

n an interview at the Geneva Auto Show, Carlos Ghosn, CEO of Renault-Nissan, strongly stated that he is not seeking any key alliance with American carmaker Chrysler. “We have an OE deal. Period,” Ghosn said, “I don’t want you to think there’s more in this.” Nissan is currently in an agreement with Chrysler to supply its Versa sedan for sale in South America.

“The U.S. is in recession. We are very cautious,” he said, but also stated, “We are going to continue to do deals with everybody when they make sense,” presumably putting any major alliance plans on hold until the U.S. economy takes a turn for the better.

Ghosn also spoke of Renault-Nissan’s plans for Avtovaz, their new Russian partner, of which they own a 25% stake, according to Detroit Free Press. He also spoke on plans to revise the entire line up, but added that Avtovaz could also produce Nissan or Renault vehicles too. This might prove to be a big boost for Avtovaz’s leading brand, Lada, which is in need of new platforms, equipment and drivetrains. “Russian car sales may surpass Germany to become Europe’s largest single market this year,” he said.

Renault, meanwhile, is working on moving slightly upscale with the help of Korean partner Samsung. Also in the pipeline is a luxury crossover for 2010.

I was not one of the people that disagreed with the merger. Try to know what you are talking about before you open your mouth. It makes you look like an ass.
