Exposure : Renault is not interrested by LM because it does not expose the brand enough ; that's why they don't have a french pilot as well. They explicitaly said that the "need to sale cars". Peugeot and Citroën as well. The worst thing for them : indifference of the public ; and not the french one : they don't give a damn. The big markets : China (Asia) and America.

For the others : I'd mention investment and commitment, possibly to beat Audi, maybe.
