Talks between General Motors and Renault- Nissan are moving slowly with little momentum as a mid-October deadline looms, according to the Detroit News. The Renault-Nissan group had hoped to begin a full-scale analysis of purchasing costs across all three companies, but GM reportedly wanted to limit the study to a handful of vehicles and a few dozen parts. “We see some resistance” there, a source told the News. The sources suggest there is some speculation as to whether GM is serious about the partnership, or if it simply agreed to the study because of the pressure investor Kirk Kerkorian applied to the automaker.
