Kinda funny,
One day GM is going broke, not selling any cars, thinking of doing away with the Corvette. Then a short time goes by and now it time to BUY OUT Chrysler!!!??? Ain't America great! Ah HELL, I'm broke also...I think I'll go try to buy a new house! Yea Right! How far do you think I'll get?

Geez, if you keep anything, keep Jeep and trim the lineup, it's too damn 
large anyway.  Jeep only needs about three vehicles.  And KEEP the Jeep 
name.

Ditch the minivans, PLEASE.  And keep the niche market by keeping MOPAR 
alive.  But, hey, it's corporate takeover.  I wouldn't be surprised if 
they axed all the lines, terminated all the employees and sold off the 
assets for scrap.  I'm not really a GM kinda guy.
