HI Vi, Many a conversation on that at our dealership. It should be done. GM needs to focus their core competency on manufacturing. Let the bean counter do the banking - fet their source of funds from cheap deposits. Let GM build high quality high value vehicles on a global footprint and not be confused about who/what they are. Thay've been in that funk all of my life. Dodge plus Chevy plus GMC makes you an undisputable volume leader and it that isn't an edge it just pain shouldn't be done. I believe it is and I do believe it should be done. One qualifier - The union buys into plant closure and job losses to build the most efficient operation - an operation that will keep more jobs than if the combo is not done. JMHO Bob Very difficult tasks and I do not think Cerberus has the cash to build new models what with Cafe demands and certification with EPA. They'll be very small players living off second rate joint ventures or go bust.
