If DCX and GM are both struggling as individual companies right now, if they merge wouldn't that just make one big struggling company?

Or am I missing something?

If GM absorbs Chryco they get to "**** and pilage". They get they $11.9 (I think billion) or so cash reserve Chryco has associated with them, they get the Town&County/Caravan and they sell off everything else at auction. The cash and the minivan is the ONLY items GM really wants. The MAJOR gate to sealing this deal, in my opinion, is the LifeTime Warranty. In fact that is what push me to buy the 2008 Grand sitting in my driveway right now...so I am hoping I have done my part to squash this deal...at least for the time being...

I figured someone had to have something in their back pocket to make this deal work. And $11.9 bill sure would do it for me. I'll tell you what, no matter what happens, we are in for some interesting times. (Aeh)

Wouldn't that be the SECOND time that Renault owned Jeep?

Wouldn't be so bad, IMO. IH used Nissan diesels back in the day.

Yes, Renault owned 46% of AMC before Chryco toke over AMC...As long as they don't go back to those Renault/Pugeot transmissons

nissan has already come by to check things out.. from inside here it seeems like nissan has more of a shot than gm.. all gm wants is the cummins and jeep

Nissan is looking to buy into Chrysler, not the entire organization. It will still be a GM/Chrysler merger while limiting portions (20%) to Nissan.
