"DETROIT - General Motors Corp. and Chrysler LLC have held preliminary talks about a merger or an acquisition of Chrysler by GM, according to published reports Saturday. The Wall Street Journal, citing people it described as familiar with the discussions, said Cerberus Capital Management, the private equity firm that owns 80.1 percent of Chrysler and 51 percent of GMAC Financial Services, proposed trading Chrysler's automotive operations to GM. The Journal said Cerberus would receive GM's remaining 49 percent stake in GMAC. The New York Times, also citing people familiar with the talks, said the automakers were discussing a merger. The Times did not mention GMAC, a traditional auto lender hit hard by the housing market downturn. The talks have stalled because of the recent turmoil in the financial markets, according to the Journal. Its sources said negotiations could resume if markets stabilize because both GM and Cerberus want to quickly divest the assets under discussion. The negotiations between 100-year-old GM and 83-year-old Chrysler began more than a month ago, according to the Times. Its sources said the chances of a merger were "50-50" as of Friday and likely would take weeks to complete." http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081011/ap_ ... rger_talks |

[quote="teckman02"]all i say if it does go on they better not lay a finger on the jeep line ..... i could see them taking crap from the hummer line and try to ues it on the jeep[/quote] That's a great point teckman02. I have owned many GM products through the years, and they all had problems. Chrysler/Jeep products have problems too, but I have never had an engine blow up on me in the 5 Jeep's I have owned like I had happen to me with the GM products <shrug>. |

That amounts to a Corolla station wagon? Not many true Corvettes cruising the Great Miami up your way?
