This has gone off track a bit , quality is not a factor here in fact the difference between best and last is minute.
This will boil down to a NY bankers payday,if a big check is in there it will happen. The fact that it maybe a bad marriage and will fall apart in 10 years does not matter, the bankers will be long gone on to the next 'deal'.
I hope you do not truly believe that. There may or may not be a merger or joint venture. But it is solely the decision of company management, the boards, and shareholders. The investment bank firms I am sure would love to make the M&A fees but they are NOT going to "convince" two different companies against their wills to do a deal. That is like blaming all of Chrysler's woos on the different failed buyouts, mergers, etc. At some point management needs to put on their big boy pants and take responsibility. Don't get me wrong, I hope and feel Chrysler will succeed. I am just getting tired of the blame everyone else but themselves for their financial issues.
GM discussion boards are convinced a hostile take over is possible ,the board or CEO have absolutely no say.
A majority shareholder (say 20%) is all it takes ,and no cash is involved -stock is swapped - the bankers take home a big commission and its done.hone eagle wrote:

FCA is asking to so called "merge" not Ford or GM, as FCA sees the handwriting on the wall and what the future has in store for them if they don't. Merging with nothing to really offer that's truely positive is called a "sale" before a fire sale or a bankruptcy auction. Why do you think this widely published story of facts will not go away? Simply because it's factual!
Absolutely!
GM would gain little from a "merger". FCA needs someone to pay the development costs, because they are running out of money.
WRT quality, Same JD Power initial Quality report, Ford SuperDuty earned voice of the customer award for it's outstanding quality. In the same JDP survey, one of Ford's biggest complaints is that @##%^&* sync system, and I agree with that assessment. It's a #$%^%^&#$ POS, and glad they are replacing it in 2016.- This has gone off track a bit , quality is not a factor here in fact the difference between best and last is minute.

These threads are always hilarious. All the chest pounding. Bragging about who makes the best trucks or cars. And yet you still go out and spend $20,000-$100,000 on a trailer that would rank below FCA in quality and reliability.
And there are those who are so adamant that they or suggest you buy only American made products... as they type their posts using a keyboard made in China... so on and so on. Too funny!!- FCA is asking to so called "merge" not Ford or GM, as FCA sees the handwriting on the wall and what the future has in store for them if they don't.

- goducks10,
Maybe the RV's you buy but some of us might be a lot smarter with our RV purchases! There are quality RV's out there but not with the run of the mill or at cheap prices! The purchaser generally decides their fate for the with the RV they eventually buy to do the task they have planned whether is the best for it or just adequate at best as so few will really pay for the quality products they seek but they will complain constantly and because of their own decision. So be it! - These threads are always hilarious. All the chest pounding. Bragging about who makes the best trucks or cars.
