Disturbing news from Renault, as it seems the brand with the diamond has cancelled the presentation of the new Clio on July 4 in Geneva, according to parts of the French press. The explanation for the cancellation of the static presentation is even more disturbing: pressing economic circumstances, in the words of the press release itself.
If this news is as accurate as expected, it is worrying that a brand like Renault is forced to cancel the presentation of a model on which the group will depend for the brand’s near-future economic performance. Has the economy of Renault deteriorated to such an extent?
Carlos Ghosn himself has said that the European market situation will remain frozen for the next 3 or 4 years, but we never would have believed the deterioration was of this magnitude, or that a press presentation would carry such weight in the dissemination of the most important changes of the year for Renault.
In any case, we will see how this ends and whether the Clio will indeed have to wait a few more months to be presented to the media, at the end of September at the Paris Motor Show.

Ahora debería ser Nissan quien compre la mayoría de las acciones de Renault. Pero por encima de la tumba de los franceses, ni locos. Renault ha tenido mucha suerte, compró una parte importante de Nissan que le da el control de la empresa aunque no llega al 50% por lo tanto Nissan sigue siendo una empresa independiente y japonesa, pero con mucho más tecnología y el doble de ventas a nivel mundial. Incluso habría que analizar hasta que punto su alianza con Renault ha sido positiva en Europa, porque efectivamente se ha aprovechado de los motores diésel Renault, pero no tienen un compacto clásico (sacando el Qasqhai que no lo es) ni una berlina del segmento D, que a pesar de todo siguen teniendo un peso importante en ventas y dan muchos beneficios proporcionalmente.
