Default GM to buy Mopar??????

One can only hope. Then my LS power Mopars will fit in the LSX Shootouts. Will that mean we will have LS powered Dodges and Hemi Power Chevys????? Things that make you go HUMMMMMMMM

Why would GM spend money it doesn't have to buy the Below Par Mopar company?

Its make no sense for GM to buy out anyone at this point in the game . What they need to do is sell off some of their existing brands like Pontiac , Buick and Hummer. They need to stop using GMC as a light duty brand and keep it only heavy duty . They need to offer Saturn as a brand in Europe and international markets .

GM took a bigger bailout than Dodge also, so it doesn't seem likely. Not to mention they BOTH had to take BAILOUTS to survive.

Seeing as GM uses and has used their Opel platforms to bring cars here, I don't think it would any sense whatsoever to offer Saturn in Europe. There's plenty of competition already as is.
