I just herd on the news that Chrysler and GM are talking merger? WTF? Has it really come to this? "the big 3" no more?
ps I saw my first 09 Ram commercial on the tv the other day and it was awesome!

 

We'll have to wait and see like you said shrpshtr. If it does go thru, I can only hope they'll combine the strengths of Chrysler with the strengths of GM, but then again, i can't think of too many strengths for GM

 

here it is

says it could happen in a matter of weeks. I'm having a very hard time deciding if this is a good thing or a bad thing. of course chrysler won't be chrysler anymore, but other than their lineup, they really don't have much going for them anymore. and gm sure could use some vehicles with a little more character

 

i dout that if they merge that they would abandon the ram... or Dakota... it would be like any other branch of Gm it would just have its own section... i like GM they are pretty good vehicles and i dont see a problem as long as they dont change chysler i would be pretty happen with that.......

 

yeah, I like Chrysler and GM, so i guess it would be better than losing one or the other. I really don't like fords, so those two merging is better that one of them merging with ford or a few years ago, Nissan was going to buy GM.

 

never gonna happen, but if it does. there might be a s10, s15 with a big block in it.

 

I think it will happen if GM see no other choice for their survival. The execs at GM will not let their company go bankrupt. And i think they would make Dodge and Chrysler another arm of the GM product. And on the our vehicles would then become more fuel efficient. Like it or not, GM is leading the pack on green/energy efficient vehicles.

 

Either one of them going bankrupt would be horrible...it would be a smart move to merge instead of tanking.

 

Yeah, it's being discussed here in the right forum https://dodgeforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=177089

 

It would be the end of Chrysler. GM will be the one that comes out on top. I can't see them continuing to build the ram or challenger. GM would be competing aginst itself. I think the only brand that will do okay is JEEP.

With that said, I would rather see Chrysler go to an American company instead of going overseas again.

GM does take care of it's classic car owners. It might make it easier to get repo parts for our older mopars.
