So let's say they merge, a BIG IF!, acquire the branding for the Chrysler products people want and diversify the comapny into 3 parts.
Let's say they keep the Cadillac & Chevolets as the models of performance and hi end runs and add the challenger and more to that line.
Streamline ALL new economy, Hybrid, fuel economy, and low end entry level cars on the newer assembly lines from Chrysler giving them a way to complete and deliver immediately.
Have all of the truck lines in the GMC line.
Im not at GM but I am just thinking out loud that GM could use the older lines for the slower selling, hi end, and performance cars, and retool as needed once the faster new assembly lines pull them out of the hole they are in.
So many models to me are unecessary and could be axed to keep just what is needed.
I continually revert back to the 50's and 60's and wonder why GM doesnt simplify things and use 3 engine types for a multitude of models. That could help keep costs predictable without having some many different engine developements.
