	Renault - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Renault became the world's leading manufacturer of airplane engines, and the success of the company's military designs were such that Renault himself was honored by the Allies for his company's contributions to their victory.
		Renault sold AMC to Chrysler in 1987 and the brand and its cars subsequently disappeared (though the subsidiary Jeep brand remained).
		Renault cars have performed well in the European Car of the Year awards: the Renault 16 (1966), Renault 9 (1982), Renault Clio (1991), Renault Mégane Scénic (1997), Renault Mégane (2003) and Renault Clio III (2006) have all won the award.

	Renault 9/11 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A version of the 9 was produced by American Motors in the United States, where it was known as the Renault Alliance (although it also bore a discreet AMC badge on its rear window).
		The Alliance and Encore, while comparatively underpowered, had a definite advantage in ride and handling against other small cars available in America at the time and even had their own SCCA spec-racing series, the Alliance Cup.
		The failure of the Renault brass to recognize the American demand for more hp earlier on in the Alliance's run is considered one of the contributing factors to American Motors' downfall.

	Renault Megane (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Renault has unveiled the first two cars from the new Mégane II family which will eventually offer seven models by 2004 in a complete renewal of its product line-up in the C segment, the biggest in the European automobile market.
		Renault achieved this high level of performance through a new managerial approach, involving the factories from the very start of the programme.
		Renault invested a total of Euro 2.1 billion, with nearly half devoted to industrial investment in Palencia, Spain — readied to produce the hatchback and the Sport Hatch — as well as at the plant in Douai, France, which will manufacture the hatchback and the new Scénic at a later date.

	Endgame: Renault and Jeep
		The company entered into a joint venture agreement with Renault, the French automaker, in 1979, under which AMC would sell Renault cars in the U.S. and later produce a Renault-designed car at its Kenosha plant.
		Renault, which had problems of its own, turned out to be a less than ideal partner.
		For 1987 there was a surprising last hurrah for the AMC/Renault partnership: the Renault GTA, based on the Alliance (but with not one Alliance badge on the car), souped up with a 2.0 liter TBI motor, an honest-to-God 5-speed, P205 50R-15 tires, and a full aero package.

	Ghosn faces rough road in dual-steering of Nissan-Renault alliance (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The alliance will be driving head-to-head with the world's biggest carmakers as high commodities prices pressure the industry worldwide, and sputtering economic growth in Europe has dulled appetite for new cars.
		To manage Renault and Nissan, which are 10,000 kilometers (6,200 miles) apart and have a combined 300,000 employees, Ghosn intends to spend 40 percent of his time in the Paris headquarters of Renault and 40 percent at Tokyo-based Nissan, with the remaining 20 percent in the United States and elsewhere.
		Other tasks awaiting Renault are a return to the United States with the support of Nissan, which already has a strong foothold in the world's biggest automobile market; the conquering of the coveted Chinese market; and the internationalization of the company's operations.

		That alliance is still in its early stages, but the cross-linking between the two companies and cultures is strengthening as they work to enhance compatibility.
		Although Renault has a growing reputation for advanced design (its new Vel Satis sedan underlines that) and the use of both new and state-of-the-art technologies (the Laguna II has keyless entry), a producer of cars in this sector needs to be cautious about advanced technology, according to Lacambre.
		Alliances between car companies can generate a broadband approach to various technologies, and Renault's alliance with Nissan has provided what Lacambre described as "many nice opportunities." He elaborated, saying, "Because they are strong in some markets in which we are very minor or absent—including the U.S.—they have different priorities in technology.

	Nissan-Renault alliance faces down a few challenges - MIT News Office
		When Ghosn went from executive vice president of the Renault Group to CEO of Nissan CEO in 1999, he figured he had a 50/50 chance of reviving the chronically unprofitable automaker.
		(Renault builds cars in Nissan's Mexico plants and Nissan uses Renault's Brazil plant and distribution networks.) The companies are collaborating on building common platforms, components and engines, and each company leads engine design in their area of expertise--Renault in diesel and Nissan in gasoline.
		As Ghosn anticipates adding CEO and president of Renault to his titles in 2005, he says he'll rely on the strengths of two distinct work forces: French innovation in concept stages and Japanese dedication to process in manufacturing.

		The "infamy" of this event wasn’t fully appreciated until a few years after this award was given, when many an enthusiastic Alliance owners realized that their "Car of the Year" was among the most trouble-prone vehicles on the market.
		Motor Trend’s selection of the 1983 Renault Alliance is clearly one of their most embarrassing choices—hindsight being 20/20.
		If you were to look back at the advertising blitz Renault conducted upon winning this award, you would see that this auto manufacturer squeezed every drop of good PR it could get out of the Alliance winning the award.
