Re: GM + Chrysler: What it may look like post-merger

Well first of all if we thinked that the billion GM spended killing oldsmobile whats too much I would say that they would need about 4billion to trim all the excess dealers they will have plus some of the brands will have to go, I would expect the killing of Pontiac, Chrysler and the selling of Saab and Hummer, that way can have GMC,Dodge and Buick or give the GMC products to Dodge and align Saturn under the Buick, Dodge and Saturn sales channel and let Caddy apart, then realign the global sales department and introduce Dodge as a global brand, move the 300 platform as a Chevy, merge the SSR with the PT cruiser , merge the dakota with the canyon etc but for something like this im estimating that GM would need close to 10 billions to be able to achieve this unless they are counting that they will get their 25 billion and will wait when Chrysler get their 25 billion loan too and then acquire them.

IMO I just hope this doesnt happen because right now GM its like a patient that had a stroke one month ago and its trying to eat a fat burger that could kill him instantly
