Personally, I wonder why we're giving them money for failing in the marketplace yet keeping the same beancounters and executives who got them where they are in the first place. Maybe GM can be saved, but it'll be a surprise if Chrysler comes out of this intact. Red flags went up in my mind when the Germans ditched them for less than they paid originally. Then more red flags went up when an investment group, who knows nothing of the automotive industry, bought them up.

Thanks for the post Luckyman. Hopefully the H mob will soon realise that we are at least 20 years away from a hydrogen economy...that will leave about 15yrs with nothing if we don't have batteries!!!!
