[drey]

even if they sold $7.4B... Kawawa pa rin ang Mitsu.

Lugi

Lugi nga sobra. Daimler actually has so PAY to get rid of Chrysler.

Hopefully, this becomes a wakeup call to the employees of Chrysler for them to renegotiate their healthcare benefits in the interest of the company's survival.

What happens to Mitsubishi pala after the sale? (hindi ko na binasa yung articles, ang haba )

hindi kaya maaffected resale value ng mga new mitsu cars nyan?

here in the US, mitsubishi cars and trucks (except for the Evo, of course) already have some of the lowest, if not the lowest, resale value around.

malamang the new owners will run it aground in to debt, break it into pieces and sell it..

No mention of Mitsubishi.

Parang kaka-insulto sa Chrysler no? 7.4B lang for 80percent of the company.

It's like Daimler REALLY REALLY wants to get rid of Chrysler kahit magpalugi sya.

Yan na ang tingin ng investors sa American automakers. Almost no value.

If you work the numbers out, Daimler is actually shedding responsibility for U$17.5bn of healthcare liabilities.

So you can say that the (new) owner of Chrysler is buying it for that much since they will have to bear that burden.

DaimlerChrysler used to own maximum of 37% of mitsu. 2001 pa yan.

Then its stake went down thru the years. It sold all mitsu shares in 2005.

Now it has no stake in Mitsu.

i read an article recently, which stated that Toyota has a $30/hour labor cost advantage over Ford/GM. no wonder these two companies are having problems financially.

and the japanese autoworkers do not have the same retirement benefits/healthcare benefits like the american autoworkers do.

Laki ng ginagastos ng american automakers para sa benefits ng employees nila.

[drey]

tapos American people are buying Japanese cars? There's a similarity with Pinoys who prefer imported items.

member din ba ng UAW ang mga plant workers ng Toyota at Honda?
