General Motors Corporation (GM) chief executive Rick Wagoner said Thursday he wants to move “expeditiously” to review a possible alliance with Nissan and Renault, but said the U.S. auto giant did not need a deal to complete its financial turnaround. “Everyone would want to move to a yes or no decision promptly on something like this,” Wagoner told reporters after testifying at a Senate committee hearing on retiree health-care costs. “I think we want to move expeditiously,” he said without elaborating on a time frame. Wagoner is scheduled to meet on Friday with the chief of Nissan and Renault for preliminary discussions. “We're willing to sit down and talk about the full range of options,” he said. Billionaire investor Kirk Kerkorian, whose Tracinda Corporation owns nearly 10 percent of GM, has urged the world's largest automaker to consider the Nissan-Renault alliance. Such a relationship means that Nissan and Renault could take a stake in GM as the three companies seek to find savings by sharing the costs of developing new products and buying components. Wagoner stressed that GM does not need an alliance to be successful. “We have a good plan, we're turning the business,” he said. “We're going to be in a position to be a successful business.” Carlos Ghosn, the chief executive of Nissan and Renault, said in newspaper interviews published on Thursday that he is interested in a broad alliance with GM. GM lost $10.6 billion last year, pressured by high labor costs, slow sales of profitable sport utility vehicles due to soaring gasoline prices, and loss of U.S. market share to foreign rivals.
