I don't think Toyota will touch GM. This may be another story born in
the internet. I don't see where Toyota would benefit from such a deal
as to take on this behemoth with so much dead weight. GM is better off
to struggle along with their own problems. They are watching Northwest
airlines and how they are sacking the unions. After the canx union
contracts then GM will be able to once again regain at least some
viability. It will take a few years.

You really think they're coming back as strongly as ever? I see big-time
downsizing as their only hope.

If by downsizing you mean eliminating divisions, then I agree. I think GM
may be able to survive if they eliminate Pontiac, GMC, and perhaps Saturn.
Ford could do the same thing by eliminating Mercury.

I've seen a lot of articles and post speculating about how Toyota's
management thinks, and whether Toyota would acquire an equity stake in GM.
This is the most accurate description I've read in a long time, and as I've
said before, Toyota does not want to see GM or Ford go under. As the
article mentions, it is unlikely that Toyota would acquire an equity stake
in GM. My guess is that Toyota will offer GM the rights to use Toyota's
hybrid technology in the short term and form more NUMMI-like joint ventures
in the mid term so that the JV's will produce more and more GM products.

I see a lot of saturns on the road, maybe they should keep the saturn
line and the small truck group and dump the rest. The little saturn suv
model looks good as does their smaller car. What would be the problem
with keeping saturn?

I've seen more Saturns than anything else for sale in want-ads....maybe they
should dump them?

Unlike GMs divisions, Mercury is mostly only a sales Division. The vehicles
are designed and made alongside Fords. Mercury sales are up over 2004 in
any event.
