Hong Kong (CNN Business) The tension in the world's biggest autos alliance was laid bare Monday when Nissan said it had been denied an opportunity to tell Renault's board the full story about why it fired Carlos Ghosn in late November. "We would like to explain to [Renault's board] if we are given the chance," Saikawa said following a meeting of Nissan's board. "We hope Renault's board directors will listen to the explanation." The three companies have more in common than Ghosn, who crafted the alliance after leading successful turnarounds at Renault and Nissan. Analysts say that Nissan is concerned that Renault could do what's best for the French economy, rather than the alliance.
