Ghosn sees Renault-Nissan passing VW, Toyota as global No. 1 this year

PARIS -- Two years ago, Carlos Ghosn said Renault-Nissan alliance would be one of the top three global automakers by 2018. That prediction has come true a year early, largely due to the addition of Mitsubishi in 2016. Now Ghosn believes the alliance could soon pass Volkswagen Group and Toyota to become the best-selling car company.
