The Renault/Nissan alliance was identified as a clear winner and one of the most successful overall while the now-defunct DaimlerChrysler merger was singled out as the most unsuccessful alliance ever. As far as current alliances are concerned, the one between BMW and Toyota is seen as the most promising by the expert panel, followed by the expanded Renault-Nissan-Daimler partnership. The GM-PSA alliance emerged as the clear loser.
