The Big 2-1/2 ?
Looks like GM is considering buying "C" from from "DC". Makes me wonder
what chassis will GM use for the 300C, Crossfire etc. if the sale goes through. Here's a link: http://tinyurl.com/2m5lsq |

I don't see it... Given its line-up, or the possible new entries they "could" build, I can't figure out why Chrysler isn't rolling in money. It should be Chrysler buying GM, not a near-bankrupt GM trying to finance a buyout of Chrysler. Hey, if it were me, I'd buy Chrysler, then dump Chrysler and just keep Jeep. Then I'd come out with the first-ever Jeep coupe, Jeep sedan, Jeep (true) station wagon. I'd make a fortune. dwight |

Yeah. Like any of this discussion is serious. I wonder how the Chebby guys would take to having a Hemi under the hood, or vice versa? That'd be heresy. An upheaval in the universe... Of course, that stuff probably matters only to us old farts who remember when. ) <----- (frog smiley) |

The deal to sell Chrysler would have more hair on it than a gorilla. It wouldn't surprise me if they never find a buyer. >>> Hey, if it were me, I'd buy Chrysler, then dump Chrysler and just >>> keep Jeep.

Saw an awesome 390 AMX the other day. My Mother drove around the the four-wheel drive Eagle compact (late 70s vintage). It actually wasn't a bad car for the time. >>> I'd make a fortune. >> Remember your buddies here at ramfm when you get filthy rich. |

Don't forget that many of Chrysler's more popular and best performing models are based on Mercede's chassis and drive trains. I can't see GM selling cars that are reskinned Mercede models or Mercedes letting them do it. |

Spinning off Chrysler begs answers to a host of questions, starting with: "What happens to all the MB stuff presently in the DC cars?" |

If they spin off Chrysler they spin off all of it... |
