And.... I suck at the internet...... repost.... I'm old so leave me alone

Merged threads, corrected spelling of chrysler... :rolleyes:


Sounds like Chrysler is looking for a savior - I told you they were in worse shape. I'd love to hear what would be in it for GM.

opps. did i forget the damn h lol

It's going to be interesting for sure....Camaro with a hemi? Ram with a 6.2l ls1 based engine? hmmmm...

return of amc?

v10 vette? v8 viper?? lol no way.

Never say never, bud. GM was working on a v10 not so long ago and the world's fastest Viper has a v-8 in it.

Chrysler has been trying to sell the viper line.

They are gonna part chrysler out.

Edit: ohh, Gm could want jeep.

If this happens, I wouldn't have to feel guilty about liking the new challenger.

im in line for the 2012 gremlin

i told the chrysler dealer that he was in big trouble a few months back, i guess i wasn't kidding

That was a thread back in feb of 07 about GM buying chrysler. Its crazy to think that only a year and a half ago it would have been unbelievable. Now, its totally believable.

hmmm maybe the whole "its a jeep thing" wouldnt be such a bad thing anymore. Wrangler with a vortec. That would be sick.

I still don't see how that'd benefit GM. :confused:

Me neither. But GM might be interested in the minivans, jeep and getting their 50% of GMAC off their books (cerberus owns the other 50%)

maybe they will offer a jeep with a corvette motor :o

i could see them phasing out chrysler, scooping up jeep...and finally having a nice luxary platform for the ressurection of Buick.

Yeah I would think that jeep would be the biggest perk. Not to mention if you ever told a mopar guy back in the 60's/70's that one day GM would buy them out theyd call you crazy. Its kinda like a huge achievement sorta speak for gm to engulf one of the other big 3.

Chrysler has no market image, no useful technology that I can think of, and they are in the process of packaging and selling off the the Viper brand. There is just not much going on there.

I can't see anything useful that GM could get from a purchase or even a developmental or strategic partnership.

Besides, why would GM want to assume the gigantic debt hole that Chrysler is in?

Yeah, and maybe they'll throw in a 3/4 race cam.

nah dude, that totally calls for the 15/16ths cam. lol

The new buicks are already nice.

If the Viper line doesn't sell by the time the merger gets serious do you think GM is looking at that revenue from the Viper line sales?

I still don't see how this gives them ANY benefit aside from minivans(like someone said). Chrysler does pretty well with the minivans.

even with jeep and the minivan line, I dont see how this would benefit GM at all.
