New collaboration to result in co-developed global small car and Renault-based Mitsubishi saloons, as well as sharing of technology and capacity.

Renault-Nissan expands Mitsubishi tie-up to building new sedans and an EV.

The large sedan, which was not named by the companies, will made at a Renault-Samsung plant in Busan, South Korea. The car will also be sold in Canada.

The second sedan would compete in the global compact segment. The manufacturing location for this product is under discussion.

I would really hate to see another badge-engineered project from Renault Nissan. JUst got a thought that they might launch a new Lancer based on the Sunny! :(

This marriage has all the signs of a possible failure, unless it is really well planned, managed and executed - both brands have no good reputation in quality and their recent struggles are well documented.

I hope this does not translate to Sunny and Micra carrying Mitsubishi logo and face!!
Or Mitsubishi launching Micra based Sedan.

Look at Mitsubishi Attrage. Its mentioned that this is based on Mitsubishi Mirage however I see Nissan Sunny/Micra in it

By the way Mitsubishi Mirage was rated a max of 3 out of 10 by most of the car reviewers worldwide.

It should have been named "Atrocious"! Can't believe this comes from a stable which produce Evo X !!

Whether we like it or not, this is going to be the way forward. Its just the beginning. Wait for sub 4m Vento and Rapid and you might like this

Renault-Nissan has only begun rooting itself into Indian soil. Hm-mitsubishi alliance was underwhelming for mitsubishi at best. This might give all the three companies something to look forward to and yes, i hope the car lovers benefit too.

P.S: Was attrage a product of mitsubishi alone? Looks kind of average at best. I find a whole of "Sunny" in it.

Nissan Sunny
Renault Scala
And now presenting - Mitsubishi Attrage.

One word:

Just wonder the plight of customers. No one of the three brands have a decent after sales service.
And they are rolling out products based on the same platform, not even attempting at exciting customers with something new.

I would have liked if one of the Indian manufacturers would have tied up with Mitsubishi. We need their technical expertise and they need the numbers.

I dont see what Renault-Nissan gets out of this. No market or expertise.

This is no surprise to me. I have read an article in newspaper some time back that individual auto company won't survive in future. They have to join hands. Only 3-4 shall survive in long run. May be that prediction or whatever we call it is coming true. We already have Big groups like VW, FIAT etc.
Only thing is that they should release their own products. ASC should be jointly managed. Only then customers shall also be benefitted.
