In the above pilfered image, which I grabbed from AutoBlog, they raised an interesting point. It looks like GM & Chrysler will soon be merging into one company, turning The Big three US auto makers into the Big Two.
If that happens, then it would leave GM (who would be in charge) deciding which makes to keep and which to ax. And that could mean bad news for a bunch of interesting cars.
Let’s look at that picture again:
Full size GM pickup vs Dodge Ram? That’s pretty easy: addios Ram.
Hummer vs. Jeep? The Jeep brand is way too iconic and Hummer is bleeding red like an Ebola case. Advantage Jeep.
Camaro vs Challenger. This one-sniff- is just too -sniff- horrible to contemplate … next choice,NEXT CHOICE!!!
Corvette vs. Viper … Dear God, what kid of sadists ARE you, I feel like I’m in a Merrill Streep movie.
Sure, trucks and Jeeps and Hummers are one thing, but now we’re starting to talk about sportscars, or at least NEAR sportscars … that’s too much to ask a guy to choose.
But you know the bean-counters at GM will be choosing … probably using the same logic that drove them to put a Chevette suspension in the first Fieros and look at th Aztek as a viable automotive choice.
Hard times ahead …
