Looks like they will try and get more tax money to keep these companies afloat. Will it ever end. My kids-kids will be paying this debt off

So let's say they merge, a BIG IF!, acquire the branding for the Chrysler products people want and diversify the comapny into 3 parts.
Let's say they keep the Cadillac & Chevolets as the models of performance and hi end runs and add the challenger and more to that line. Streamline ALL new economy, Hybrid, fuel economy, and low end entry level cars on the newer assembly lines from Chrysler giving them a way to complete and deliver immediately. Have all of the truck lines in the GMC line. Im not at GM but I am just thinking out loud that GM could use the older lines for the slower selling, hi end, and performance cars, and retool as needed once the faster new assembly lines pull them out of the hole they are in. So many models to me are unecessary and could be axed to keep just what is needed. I continually revert back to the 50's and 60's and wonder why GM doesnt simplify things and use 3 engine types for a multitude of models. That could help keep costs predictable without having some many different engine developements. ![]()

A merger is more likely, because neither has the money to buy the other. With a lot of overlapping of jobs, such as engineering as a example, they could eliminate a lot of people. Same with factories and offices. Much of this real estate could be sold off to raise some badly needed cash. They see more angles that we do.

ESPN was reporting that if the big 3 take gov't money, that could temporarily spell the end of thier participation in Nascar, it's a dying sport in my eyes anyway.

I think that NASCAR and the big three have already been talking, based on what I heard on TV last night. Apparently NASCAR gives them their best exposure to the public compared to any other form of advertising. There may be cutbacks but I think they will be there is some form.

Nearing rock bottom. ZERO!
http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20081110...sautocompanygm Was at $30 per last year. Unbelievable. I don't know how much more money the government can shell out to financial institutions and giant corporations. This is really unprecedented territory. At least on this scope. |
