Default Re: GM/Chrysler Merger

I still don't understand how this makes any sense, particularly for GM. What does Chrysler have, besides minivans and Jeeps, that GM doesn't?

11 Billion Dollars in cash on hand!

I beleive GM has about 10 Billion on hand and this merger may help them last long enough for a turn around to take effect. In the end the government would rather bailout just 2 automakers than 3. GM & Ford will definitely get a bailout as both are too important to the economy, consumer confidence and strategic manufacturing capacity to let fail.
