Heard about it this morning on the news.. Said it was in the works...
wonder whats going to happen to Dodge?

 

best thing to ever happen to dodge

 

its been in the news the last 3 weeks. lol

GM supposedly will keep the Ram and mini-van vehicles and slowly shitcan the rest of the Dodge/Chrysler vehicles.

But, GM needs the Govt to give them a 10 billion dollar loan to make this happen. That has been difficult to get.

 

thats what they where talking about this morning..
made it sound like it would happen in the next few weeks..
I also heard that Ford is trying to buy out the Cummins contract from Dodge.

 

i keep hearing alot of different things.

First that they were going to try and pull something to get out of debt

Then some foreign company was going to buy them

They were going to make the viper its own company

GM was buying them

They are selling off in portions.

I dunno what to believe anymore EXCEPT, that they are getting sold.

 

I figured that GM would wind up buying out Chrysler, but I didn't think it was going to happen so soon.

 

i thought Ford bought the Cummins contract a while back?

 

The last I read is that GM asked the gov't billions of dollars to fund a merge and it was declined. I also read that Chrysler was going to file bankruptcy is the merge doesn't happen.

 

then I wonder what I was watching this morning....
maybe they had nothing to report, and just brought up old news........??

 

GM and Chrysler are both hurting and will probably both file bankruptcy soon if none of this goes through

 

correct

 

They are all hurting and if they cannot manage to turn themselves around, well the government is likely to intercede. We are just a step away from nationalization of our auto industry.

 

but if it does go thru, the ls needs to be tha power for all the v8 dodge cars.
ditch that hemi or magnum whatever
challenger needs a ls3

 

Why do you say intercede?

 

as in intervening to rescue the big 3 from themselves..

 

Ford had purchased the heavy duty line 3 ton 4 ton etc, from Cummins, all the engines for the light duty trucks ie 3/4 and 1 ton trucks are still owned by Chrysler

 

this is important to me i say **** no!!! beacuse if this happens that means i would have to work on these **** cars all day at work, (chevy dealership tech) eeewww all the chrysler cars are junk...

 

id rather not see it happen...

 

To hell with that. I like the HEMI platform. LOTS of potential just like the LS motors.

 

WHat ever!!! I would take a ZR1 challenger any day..
