    to buy out a part or the whole company. The US car makers are struggling and yes IMO this is the solution. Let the US carmakers go bankrupt and stop wasting taxpayer money in the process. Let the competents (Hyundai in this case) takeover the assets of the incompetents (Chrysler) and start from over with a better foundation. Hyundai is looking at the Jeep brand.

    Chrysler would have to separate its car brands and divisions to sell.....its end of the road for the car maker...

    Daimler-Benz severe its association and merger just in the recent past. Reason? "you are not buying a car manufacturer but a healthcare and retirement financial liability".

    All the more reason to wait for it to go bankrupt and buy the "Jeep" name on the cheap...

    Spoiled kasi mga American autoworkers

    a large portion of the manufacturers' cost goes to employee healthcare and retirees pensions.

    That makes them uncompetitive with foreign car manufacturers who do not have the same financial burden.

    That is why they should be allowed to go bankrupt and all those overpaid management and union-laborers should also be laid off and start over again this time by new management. The current business model of the BIG 3 is just flawed and throwing money in it is just a waste they have to be much more leaner company that can control its costs.
