Merged threads, corrected spelling of chrysler... 
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.

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.

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

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.

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

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%)

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?

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.
