Why Not Let Honda Et Al. Take Over GM?
Is any other Honda enthusiast struck by the U.S. Congress's
and President's effort to shore up and nationalize companies that make terrible automobiles and have long promoted gluttony by consumers? Why not instead compel, one way or another, mergers with Honda, Toyota, and Subaru or Nissan such that they would agree to start new plants, employ many of Detroit's former workers, and fill the gap that the demise of Detroit's auto companies would unquestionably cause? |

And why would this interest Honda and the others? How much should they charge the Big Three to even perform due diligence, let alone take on their baggage? |

No no; I am saying let the competitors die. Just move their workers to Honda et al. and continue making Hondas, Toyotas etc. but not the crappy Fords, GMs, and Chryslers. If you have not been reading about the proposed Big 3 bailout, you are not going to understand this thread. |

Why Not Let Honda Et Al. Take Over GM?
I read an interesting tongue-in-check proposal to
have Steve Jobs take over GM. When Steve left Apple for eight years to run NeXT and Pixar, Apple pretty much became the GM of computers- almost bankrupt, stoogy old product lines, excessive model types, etc. When Steve returned he dumped non-core functions such as manufacturing, cut product lines by 2/3rds, and returned style to the lineup. http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/2...07_005508.html |
