Default Re: GM to buy Chrysler???

GM buys Chrysler, which I highly doubt, they would combine Hummer and Jeep into one new divisions called Heeps or Hummeps.

Actually, Jeep is hurting right now too. The commander will be dropped, Cherokee sales have dropped by over 50%, and the Caliper is selling about as good as H1s. The Jeep dealer in town, is not selling as many 2007s as he thought they would. They are selling, but he has quite a few on his lot. (I have been looking at the 4-door Rubicon; out of curiosity of course.) I should also mention, that this is Chrylser territory. Auburn Hills, home of Chrysler is the next city over from Rochester Hills. It is also GM territory too.
The slow sales here might be due to the worries of the Chrylser employees who might not be working next week or next year.

In my opinion, they may have failed with the majority of the Jeep line, and being an old Jeeper myself, I was shocked to see 2-wheel drive Wranglers, but they sure do have a hit with the Rubicon 4-door.
