That is my guess as well roswell...

GM takes them selves out of Finance before it kills them, and takes down a competitor. Fire sale all inventory, take any good ideas, and trade marks like "hemi".

I can see the commercials now.... Two guys in trucks do battle, and just as one distroys the other we hear "there can be only one"
Then comes the GM sales pitch about putting all the best of both worlds into the truck line.

Cerberus restores the GMAC rating while adding 49% to the 51% they own now. If GM has to eat reserves and losses leverage then it would appear Cerberus has an upper hand in this.

I sure hope it wont happen, but no way of knowing what either automaker is willing to trade.
