Re: D-C might become just D and C
Nope, probably won't happen. Neither GM nor Ford is in a financial position
to acquire Chrysler, even though it's a good deal right now. I'd guess if D-C sold off Chrysler, it might be purchased by a Chinese manufacturer to get a boost in American market share. That will be a sad day if it ever happens.

The Jeep factory in Red China is still making the XJ and it is probably

That's pretty much the way GM came onto being in the first place - buying up or merging smaller brands. The DC problem is the product mix - too many big boxes - and GM has an image problem. Neither rate well on reliability although the DC warranty program helped a lot. Remember when no one would even talk about Hyundai? Look what that 10yr/100k warranty did for them. -- Will Honea <whonea@yahoo.com> |
