Well, I always thought that "merger" was ill-conceived. Let's see what luck private equity has turning it around.

No offense to Diamler, but maybe a private equity firm can actually turn this dinosaur around. Either that or strip it for parts.

I thought they ae going to sell of the equipment, and maybe sell the brand to a foriegn company.

Potentially, hence the "strip it for parts" portion of my post.

Perhaps Chery can buy the Chrysler brand, but it will be ironical to find a Chrysler that looks like this. :p

With $200 oil, i think small cars will be popular for city drive.

Damn, my last mth bill went to $200, and i only drive to the market. I checked the wheels, they are almost full. What's happening??
