That's my point exactly! It makes no effin' sense, unless GM management wants to fatten the company even more so that a financial-services-like bailout is offered for 'relevance tot he economy' reasons, but really I don't see that happening...

OK......... so GM would get USD 11bn in cash, but how much cash is Chrysler bleeding? How much would it cost to shut down Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep? How much attention would the whole process divert from the task of building better cars with the nameplates GM has at this point in time?

Sweet!...

Wasn't one of those Buick mules (the one with Swedish plates) 4.8m long according to the specs sheet that leaked? It could be a 9-5 mule and not a Buick, but 4.8m is Insignia-sized, not what a LWB EpII's length would be (I'd imagine a LWB EpII would be between 4.9m and 5m long)...

Interesting that no one who replied compared it to the Volt...

Life seems too short, but in its apparent fragility it finds room for resilience and resistence. See those people that don't give up and keep their dignity even when faced with an incurable/terminal disease? We should all look up to those people when we're facing our own many times small difficulties.

When a bank's nickname is something as silly as WaMu, what can one expect?

But they will still try that same strategy IMO. Why would you merge 2 companies that bleed cash (I am assuming Cerberus hasn't done such a good job of turning Chrysler around) if not for the political leverage in an election year gamble?

A crazy idea from this crazy Portuguese/European (details can be found at www.notgoingtohappen.com): what about changing whatever needs to be changed in the US Constitution and/or Election Laws, so that the political system in the US becomes a true multi-party system?

Trying to gain leverage in dealing with Washington comes to mind... Wishing for a repeat of the 1980 Chrysler bailout...

I have a ringing sound, pretty much like an old phone would sound. The only thing I change between profiles are the volume/vibration settings.

I saw a Renault 4L on TV News!

brave I admited to nothing! We have this saying in Portuguese that we use as a joke. It would translate into something like 'small but hard working'.

That Caterham = I think I'd offer you more cake than Satty if you shipped it here instead, hehe And I didn't know the Alfa 75 was sold in the US. I thought you guys only got the 164.
