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 Been reading this stuff - it will certainly be interesting to see what shakes out before this is all over.

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 >> Michael Johnson <cds@erols.com> wrote in news:bd- >> dnUHfePnPw0vYnZ2dnUVZ_hCdnZ2d@giganews.com: [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > figure out why Chrysler isn't rolling in money.

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) >>>>> Michael Johnson <cds@erols.com> wrote in news:bd- >>>>> dnUHfePnPw0vYnZ2dnUVZ_hCdnZ2d@giganews.com: [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > would take to having a Hemi under the hood, or vice versa?

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. ;) > Michael Johnson <cds@erols.com> wrote in news:bd- > dnUHfePnPw0vYnZ2dnUVZ_hCdnZ2d@giganews.com: [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > I can see a Hemi Camaro or an LS7 Challenger... ;) 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. >> Michael Johnson <cds@erols.com> wrote in news:bd- >> dnUHfePnPw0vYnZ2dnUVZ_hCdnZ2d@giganews.com: [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > GM selling cars that are reskinned Mercede models or Mercedes letting > them do it. That's the grey area. Spinning off Chrysler begs answers to a host of questions, starting with: "What happens to all the MB stuff presently in the DC cars?" >>> Michael Johnson <cds@erols.com> wrote in news:bd- >>> dnUHfePnPw0vYnZ2dnUVZ_hCdnZ2d@giganews.com: [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > questions, starting with: "What happens to all the MB stuff presently in > the DC cars?" I would bet Chrysler owns it.

Aside from the Jeep brand the only cars worth selling is the ones that have Mercedes' "bones". If they exclude the 300C, Crossfire etc. from the deal then the value of Chrysler sinks like a stone. I can't see them selling their current technology to a competitor. > Looks like GM is considering buying "C" from from "DC".

Here's a link: http://tinyurl.com/2m5lsq If everyone thought that "D" was going to be the end of "C", this will definitely be the end. You can kiss that sweet looking Daytona Charger good bye and see it replaced with that fugly looking Mustang copying Camaro.
