Default RE: Dodge brand is on life support

Gotta disagree. This"bailout" is not giving money to the companies but loaning them money. The US actually made money off of the last Chrysler bailout. This is an important distinction. The scary part is the warnings about not all three companies survivng. I am a strong advocate of an independent Chrysler. They also talk about using funds from the money for environmentally friendly cars.
But the fact is the Brampton plant sells all of the cars they make. Even with the slowdown they are selling Challys without even advertising. They have backorders for the Challys. The gov't is not going to close down profitable operations including the Brampton plant (even though it is in Canada).
