You forgot Buick and the importance of that brand in China. GM cannot just get out. Oh and that last pic was a nice humorous detail. It did make me laugh.

GM Fights to Keep Opel Division as Politicians Pursue Spinoff
It's mostly in Swedish, and it's just a justification of the reasons they want to apply for 'reconstrucion' as it is called in Sweden. I'll be busy tomorrow, but I'll try to post the links if I can find them. They were somewhere at a Saab fan website called www.saabsunited.com They mention the need to have arm's length contrats re the 9-4X, which is a weir need as those contracts would have to exist anyway since it's 2 different legal entities, belonging to the same group and based in different countries, that will be producing and distribuing the vehicle... The least I can think of regarding that sentence is that it is odd... To me this Saab/Opel/Daewoo thing (Daewoo has asked the Korean Development Bank for money) just raises questions on top of questions: Does GM believe that selling only Chevies and Cadillacs in Europe is the way forward? Are things so bad that it's all boiling down to panic with each local GM unit going its own way to get money? Or is this whole mess just apparent and GM is using a mask of falling into chaos so they are able to maximize government help money on a global basis?

Mouth Boca do Inferno, near Cascais. Not only a tourist attraction, but Metallica's photoshoot for Death Magnetic was done both there and at the citadel in Cascais.- GM Fights to Keep Opel Division as Politicians Pursue Spinoff
Which is why Opel have been desperately trying to be seen as 'upmarket'. I agree with you 100% re cut&run sometimes being best, but I don't know to what extent GME's subsidiaries have been burdened with in terms of costs. Saab listed the establishment of arms-length contracts in its bankruptcy documentation, suggesting transfer pricing systems are, perhaps, not that transparent... BTW and as an example, Chrysler just got hit with a $500 million tax bill in Canada for transfer pricing-related issues.- Word Association

Agreed. Even if the ouput they go for is not very different from the atmospheric 2.4L, at least it would have a fatter (and flatter!) torque curve. - Word Association
