In a news report today it was said that Daimler-Chrysler is looking to sell off its US interests. Hopefully they will once again become (more of) an American manufacturer.

i doubt it dude

every day the world is becoming more and more global......how many companies in the US could afford to buy Chrysler ?

[LSC9901]

Please note I said "MORE OF" an American company !!!

[simple simon]

well then i guess i dont get your meaning

they were owned in Detroit........now they are owned in Europe.......so you expect them to be owned by two people next ?.....one from the US and one from Europe ?

I guess you don't. The way it is now they are an American/European company. After the sale there may be a larger percentage of American ownership. Sorry if I wasn't clear enough for you ?????

I think the "Big Three" should merge. Now wait a minute, before you laugh me off these boards. Think about it. They've been collaborating with their competitors for years. The Japanese, Germans and whoever else. Just think how dominating they could be if they pooled their resources. Maybe not a complete merger, but some sort of "unification". After all, alot of their employees belong to the same organization.

I was thinking they already did merge.I can't tell one COT from the other.

I thought GM and Ford both had money problems.

GM is better off than FORD(damnit).... If this rumor holds any truth it will be an effort by GM to keep themselves in the "safe zone" or just afloat.

I would comment further but, that would be a subject for another thread. So if GM gets Chrysler... I bid them a happy voyage.

As an Englishman, Chrysler traded in the UK, went bust, got bought out by an employee co-operative under the name 'Talbot', they lost that to French Peugouet who shut them down.

We have a Pacifica and RAM.... and a Dodge cap that needs a good wash!!!

[trollmc08]

If Chrysler is up for sale I hope it does get bought there is a lot of jobs in limbo so long as it is unstable best to all that work for them.

[Donno]

its all about the product.... Chyrsler/Dodge cover a huge market share that targets different individuals in radically different ways with their marketing campaigns.... The idea of cars for 'those that have and trucks for those that dont' is a class cliche that shows that they just dont understand brand loyality, and that is pure ignorance that willnow be their downfall...

Dont want to loose jobs, maybe break up the company and let the roses of success grow from their ashes!

Go for the niche markets, but do it well!
