Just saw an article on autoblog that Marchionne is talking to GM about a merger with Chrysler.Please say it ain't so.Besides, wouldn't this end up being an anti-trust violation with GM/Chrysler merged?

Thats up to the FTC after wall street dukes it out. The CEO is nothing but a messenger

Kind of like when bankrupt K-MART bought bankrupt SEARS.

Then there is Radio Shack that according to CNBC is apparently so broke that they cant even close the doors. It costs $$ to dissolve assets.

Oh the thought of Jeep being made by GM makes my skin crawl.

He has been trying to find someone to buy him out. A few months ago. GM would not touch it. Is it a new article, or old?

Big question is. WHY???? would GM want it?

Sounds like.a merger of troubled companies. Marchionnes, Truck and Agricultural business is doing well, but Fiat and Chysler, need a bigger player to make them viable. GM is a bad choice

Just was up to my Jeep dealer a few days ago, and there are now smaller Jeeps called Renegade, and they are made in Italy!
