Anyone here own a Renault?

That's only starting to happen, a result of the decade old alliance/merger of Nissan and Renault (they remain separate companies until now, but cooperate closely on many future projects.)

However, almost ALL the cars and trucks that Nissan sells in America are 100% Nissan, and not Renaults at all.

That exceptions are the Versa, the Sentra, and the Rogue (a crossover based on the Sentra/Megane chassis). These vehicles still use all-Nissan drivetrains, are tweaked to finality by Nissan alone, and are built in Nissan owned factories.

But the 370Z, Altima, Maxima, Armada, Xterra, Leaf, Cube, GT-R, Frontier, Titan, Murano, Pathfinder, and the entire Infiniti line sold in the US are all ZERO percent Renault and 100% Nissan.

So, if that's what you think makes your little statement true, so be it. I think Nissan still pretty much means Nissan here.

They've been sharing parts for years, and despite the fact that not all Nissans share parts with Renault, the only way you'll be able to purchase anything resembling a Renault in the US is if you buy a Nissan.

I remember the Renault alliance from many moons ago. also the K-cars hahaha

my sister had a gold, Renault Alliance in HS. We affectionately referred to it as "The Appliance"

I've seen a few Renaults, Citroens and the occasional Seat that are sold in Mexico driven here.
Usually makes me do a double take trying to figure out what I just saw.

Actually, in the US we call them Nissan, and they are considered real cars...

As I rather painstakingly outlined above, they've been sharing some parts in a FEW models for the last decade since their "alliance." Most Nissans remain 100% Nissan until this very day, son.

But if you need to believe this limited parts sharing in but three US models out of their entire model line-up makes your initial statement that "in the US we call them [Renaults] Nissan" valid, I'll let you cling to it with all the weetarded fury and might you can muster.

Cling, AU, cling! :awe:

They're not very reliable are they? 😀

I've only seen two in the US (in my little area in NC). They were both in a junk yard. Though surprisingly not by the crusher. apparently parts were being picked off of them.
