[kentuki]

Ew..... what ever that is I don't like it.

[:Exige:]

those are all ford companies....

Yeah ... He didn't even get a single one right. I bet by 'etc' he means Ferrari, Lamborghini and Peugeot

[F1_Master]

Well, despite all this news between America's Ford and GM companies, where is Chrysler in this?

[mclaren_crazy]

Chrysler was the only one of the big three with a profit last fiscal year...I had to do an analysis of it

[spi-ti-tout]

Volvo is owned by Ford or just partnership?

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Fully Owned by ford, as bought in 1987 I Believe?

I doubt that Opel and Vauxhall are going to go under.

They probably produce GM's best cars anyway...

The whole Chevrolet/Daewoo thing probably hasn't helped either company.

I think that Holden could become a successful subsiduary of Opel/Vauxhall since the majority of Holdens are essentially rebadged European cars, and Europe, the UK especially, seems fond of Holden's own output - Monaro and hopefully the Commodore at somepoint.

I don't really care about GMs US brands.

I don't think europe could handle Commodore/Monaro sales in the quantities required to make them pass Euro IV emissions requirements.

The Monaro did rely on US sales to keep the project viable.

But yeah, Holden relies more on Korean products than Europe now - It seems Quantity over quality is the best policy.

Holden owns the majority of Deawoo, So they could become partners with Opel/Vauxhall But i would like Chev in there for engines 5 on there own??
