The Obama administration initially asked Nissan-Renault chief executive Carlos Ghosn to run General Motors Co., but Ghosn declined, Detroit-based Automotive News and other news services reported Friday.
Ghosn was invited to succeed Rick Wagoner, who was dismissed as GM chief executive in March 2009. According to draft copies of “Overhaul: An Insider’s Account of the Obama Administration’s Emergency Rescue of the Auto Industry,” Ghosn declined because he wanted to focus on rebuilding Renault and Nissan.
