It is the other way around.

March 27,1999: Renault and Nissan announce their strategic Alliance. Renault takes a 36.8% stake in Nissan
March 1st, 2002: Renault increases its stake in Nissan from 36.8% to 44.4%
March 28, 2002: Nissan acquires a 13.5% stake in Renault
May 28, 2002: Nissan acquires a further 1.5% stake

Anyway, isn't Nissan japanesse?

Daimler owns Chrysler ,so its in not really an American company .I drive a German truck ( Dodge Dakota ) :lloyd:



[edit] Okay I see the theme of this thread :blush: [/edit]
 
Volkswagen - owned by the French Government (Saxony)

Renault - owned by the French Government

BMW - owned by BMW AG of Munich, Germany

Audi - Inky is correct, owned by VW

Ferrari - owned by Fiat

Alfa Romeo - also owned by Fiat
 
Ford makes Mazda engines.

GM and Totota partner on engine technology now (which is why I will never own another Toyota...)

Mitsubishi and Isuzu are partnered with Chrysler.

Conclusion: There really are only a handful of automobile manufacturers left. They change the nameplates and that's about it.
