And factor in all the ones being made into Cuda's or whatever and a 15% loss factor due to accidents. They keep getting more and more special.

GM is doing this to buy themselves a little more time before they also go under

I'm doing some reading and it might be Cerberus doing the squeeze on GM. I still believe it doesn't happen.

Okay, now you need to take this into account. What did AMC have before Chrysler bought them out. Pretty much nothing. The only thing they had in the car line-up was the Eagle which was why they named the division that replaced AMC Eagle. What did Eagle consist of? A bunch of rebadged Renault and Mitsubishi products and the reason behind this is that was exactly what Renault had planned for AMC. In this case Chrysler has the well selling LX cars, the Caliber no matter how much I hate it is selling in decent numbers, the Avenger and Sebring aren't selling well and frankly those two being replaced would be a gift, Chrysler doesn't have a compact anymore (the Caliber doesn't count), the minivans are still popular, the Jeeps are still popular, the Ram is still popular, etc. One of the last things GM would get rid of from Chrysler will be the LX cars as time has shown there is demand for them. Why would they when they are in the process of making competitors for them? They are doing it because they see potential.

If GM decides to cut vehicles from Chrysler, it would most likely be the following and in the order.

Durango/Aspen
Dodge Nitro
Avenger/Sebring
Jeep Commander
Jeep Compass

I wouldn't worry about this to be honest. Remember, the guys that are running GM now used to run Chrysler and they made Chrysler extremely profitable and competitive, only this time, they don't have the Judas who sold Chrysler to the Germans.
