Renault vahepeal ostis Volvo ära ja kui äri hakkas täiesti perse minema, seoses väga sita kvaliteediga, siis müüdi kogu krempel kähku Fordile maha...alver1 kirjutas:http://www.minut.ee/article.pl?sid=08/10/18/1824249
Mulle tundub kogu see autoehitusäri üks ostan-müün-ja-kahetsen värk olevat.
Üks väga hea kommentaar ameerikamaalt:
Would Renault buy shit? They make shit. The Logan, although a good seller (cheap car), will probably not be road-worthy, or even working some years from now. I'm not saying the whole line is crap, but not up to the standards they try to compete with.
Renault tried entering the US market in the '80s, by buying out the sick AMC, and sacrificing it to use its distribution network, selling upgraded cars made for the upscale (as compared to the french market then) US market. The effort failed, due to very poor engineering, many recalls, and the very fast growing reputation for poor quality cars. And these cars were specifically made for the demanding US market, with special efforts on quality control!! Part of the problem, apart from cheap materials and bad engineering, was the fact they tried out all these new upgrade perks AS they were making the cars, not before. Power windows, convertible tops, and many automated, electronic systems hadn't been tried & proofed correctly before manufacturing, as they weren't part of the Renault culture & market, and simply would break down as soon as they were used...
When my father bought a new Jeep (AMC/Renault at the time) Cherokee in 1984, he had to bring it back to the shop many times for repairs (parts failures). He was soon told, very basically, that his Jeep would become reliable, as soon as the parts the French insisted on making in Renault factories had all run out, and been changed against older US-made stock. Funny thing, events proved the mechanics right. Renault being a government-owned company at the time (Louis Renault collaborated with the Nazis, so his company was confiscated by the french government at the end of the war), giving work to french workers was an integral part of official policy-making. When the AMC purchase was completed, many small parts were adapted from existing Renault parts, or re-engineered to be made in France. Those were apparently the unreliable ones, and as it turns out, most had to be rapidly replaced....
