Ghosn Boasts Renault-Nissan Will Pass VW, Toyota To Be Global No. 1 This Year!

Two years ago, Carlos Ghosn said Renault-Nissan Alliance would be one of the top three global automakers by 2018.

Now Ghosn believes the alliance could soon pass Volkswagen Group and Toyota to become the best-selling car company.

"We have been among the top three carmakers since January in sales volume, and we expect to be in the top spot by midyear -- although this was not our goal," Ghosn told shareholders at Renault's annual meeting last week.
