Probably taxpayers money. I have heard they are trying to get the government to bail them out because they have no money.

This one?

Bush administration officials last week rebuffed a request for some $10 billion for GM to fund its proposed merger with Chrysler in part, out of concern for the tens of thousands of jobs that would be lost as a result, sources have said

yeah there is already a thread about this that is just as useful. basically Chrysler called it off with nissan, GM and is now talking with Hyundai. that is as much as i know,

the best way to keep up with it is just to check autoblog.com
