    You're right, they must be tame. Tell you what, you can be our ambassador.

    (I see an axe and at least two cudgels at the ready... pain doesn't have to have tines)

    Looks like the events are going to be turned into a docu-drama ....
    Ex-Nissan chief Carlos Ghosn has been approached by Hollywood to make FILM of his escape from Japan

    i did enjoy Downton Abbey w/ the better ½. But nothing after that. The hope is - Carlos will reveal conspiratorial/insider elements - & how galling the notion was .... Nissan losing controlling interest if joined to Renault & /or FCA. It's not beneith the corporate culture to have corporate heads fall (get pushed) on the sword in order to save status quo.

    I can certainly see why his personality might rub some the wrong way, but why did they hire him in the first place?

    They(Nissan) didn't. He came as part of the package with Renault.

    interesting. maybe the plan was to bump him off all along, after getting what they wanted, but something went awry
