i was under the understanding that renault own 45% of nissan, however nissan own 15% of renault.

you could be right, i just know that nissan were in a bit of trouble and the guy from renault took over (however much percent) and pulled them back out in about 2 yrs.

Just as the Porsche 997 Turbo is the target of the upcoming GT-R, in this case it's BMW's 335i Cabriolet which is the target. Nissan (V36) aswell as Lexus (IS250/350) are bang in the middle BMW 3 Series territory, and this convertible version of the V36 Coupe is just an extention of that. In the article it goes on to say that 'The V36 Coupe convertible may not exist at all if it weren't for the original 1961 Skyline Sports convertible before it...' meaning the market niche was always there in the Skyline range, Nissan just never did anything about it since then.
