“See the USA in your Chevrolet!” trilled Dinah Shore week after week on TV.
Can you still see the USA in your Chevrolet? Through a windscreen darkly.
General Motors now has a market valuation about a third of Bed, Bath & Beyond, and no one says your Swash 700 Elongated Biscuit Toilet Seat Bidet is too big to fail. GM has a market capitalization of about $2.4 billion. For purposes of comparison, Toyota’s market cap is $100 billion and change (the change being bigger than the whole of GM). General Motors, like the other two geezers of the Old Three, is a vast retirement home with a small money-losing auto subsidiary. The UAW is AARP in an Edsel: It has three times as many retirees and widows as “workers” (I use the term loosely). GM has 96,000 employees but provides health benefits to a million people.

My dream car is a extended length Jeep Wrangler, green with tan top and interior (not the new 4 door, but the one with the space behind the back seat). But I have to wait until my Dodge Caravan (2006) is worn out, which will be quite a while yet, I’m hoping for 10 + years of service from it.
If Chrysler goes under, I fear I’ll never get one.

Yes, I know this was a thread on GM, but I think it was relevant.
