There ain't going to be a GM/Mopar so called merger, thanks to Fiat purchasing 35% of Chrysler, as announced on Monday. This is a good move! It will put Chrysler/Dodge in the small car business, hopefully in short order. The fact that the Fiat small cars are well accepted and known to be good products should help too. This may also help save the Viper and several other good vehicles in the Chrysler fleet, including our Cummins trucks.
GM would have raped Chrysler for cash and technology and flung it aside.
