On the Road to Detroit’s Big Pileup

[Searay215]

Caught this in the New York Times today..... I don't know if this has been discussed here, but thought I'd put it out there.

Based on an article:
Once Upon a Car: The Fall and Resurrection of America’s Big Three Automakers — G.M., Ford and Chrysler” by Bill Vlasic

Now a Book by Bill Vlasic.

I did not know that GM was so desperate, that they contacted Ford and wanted to join forces and merge.....that was GM's Idea, selfish as it was.

What are your thoughts?

There were rumors to that effect at the time. It's what Daimler did to Chrysler - grab the money and run.
