Renault-Nissan may turn to Ford

Carlos Ghosn's Renault and Nissan may start talks with Ford as hopes for an alliance with General Motors fade, say insiders cited by Bloomberg. After two months of discussions, it appears there will not be an alliance between GM and Renault-Nissan, people familiar with the talks say. Over the past month, Ghosn's team has been in touch with Ford management, the report suggests. In late August, the Wall Street Journal indicated Bill Ford recently called Ghosn to say that if the Renault-Nissan alliance decided not to continue alliance talks with General Motors, Ghosn should consider talking to Ford.
