Reading more over the past couple days, it appears that they might be separate issues. The acquisition seems to involve only the Chrysler division, which has been hurting badly. The alliance seems to involve GM and Dodge specifically working together to build a large SUV similar to the Suburban. These rumours could be fueling each other, though.
I think that even just the purchase of Chrysler would be benefical, if for no other reason than the Chrysler 300. |

Re: GM to buy Chrysler???

involved.

Re: GM to buy Chrysler???
The current administration is likely to be very "hands off" regarding these dud car companies.

Nope. The goverment stepped in and bailed them out of bankruptcy. If I remember correctly. |
