great article bigal. the only real reasons i see GM even wanting this deal is market share, jeep brand, and minivans. everything else in the chrysler catalog is expendable. granted, this will cost thousands of jobs on the chrysler side of things, but thats business. it will be interesting to see what GM gets out of their share of GMAC with the housing bailout not even yet to take effect. dumping all those bad mortgages off on the gov't would make GMAC worth a lot more than they are today, so i'm sure that is gonna be factoring into any deal. anyway, great article, and keep up the good work!
