I too have done my part to help the big 3 (Chrysler in particular) by buying a NEW Challenger R/T and I did my part 8 years ago by purchasing a NEW 2000 Dakota. These are the ONLY 2 NEW cars I have ever purchased, all others were used cars.
Here is a quote I found interesting tho.....
RUMOR - GM is considering a merger with Chrysler
Fact - GM officials routinely discuss issues of mutual interest with other automakers. As a policy, we don’t confirm or comment publicly on those types of private discussions, which in many cases do not lead anywhere.
We hope you will understand why we cannot comment on this specific rumor.
