There will be internal competition - there is no way one of the fullsize pickups will be cancelled - but the fighting over what compact to make, for example, will be ugly. GM will make a better one, but Chrysler will be fighting to keep an identity. Chrysler will not just want to sell GM its name and the Ram, LX's, and minivans. That's a piddling amount of product to have survive compared to all the vehicles they do make.

i could possibly see the 300/charger/challenger being used in some form at GM. The Challenger replacement/update about 2010 could be the next Chevy impala. The Charger could be a Pontiac Transam. The 300 could be the next DTS/CTS for Caddy, The Durango/Aspin could replace the Esclade and TrailBlazer...
