I dont like it at all myself. Kirkoran or whatever his name is, has been and will continue to be bad news for GM. He is there for one reason, and one reason only, to cut up and sell as much as GM as he can so that he can make money.
What does it mean for GM? Well, could mean a much leaner process of making cars as Nissan is one of the top 2 most profitable car companies in the world. Nissan has only a handful of chassis and drivetrain systems.
Nissan gets GM's buying power and overall massive network of engineering and design. While GM-NA might be lagging, the rest of the world is blowing up, especialy China.
I do not like this alliance, and I hope that Wagoner knocks this down with swift blow. I can see a bridge built with Ford and Renault/Nissan, but with GM, when they seem to be starting to take a turn upwards with vehicles and image. There are a lot of bright lights at GM, I think that this could mess things up. GM has enough European as well as Asian companies in its world makeup, I dont think that having them will improve anything.
