Ford and GM

If you've heard that Ford and General Motors might be merging - let me say that I doubt that it will happen. Both of them are in serious trouble and until they both bite the bullet and fix a whole ton of stuff, they shouldn't be merging or even thinking about merging. All we will get is one larger company with way more problems.

Now if the both of them were to invest in an independent company and license both Ford and GM parts to it, then things will get interesting. The Corvette and Northstar engines from GM are great. The concept of Ford packaging has always been impressive. With a new company, they don't have to have union issues (at least I don't think so) and they can have a fresh start.

See, GM engine and transmission, Ford platform and interior, things may be very interesting.
