You know they are in trouble when Fiat is getting cold feet about a
merger.

Another one about to bite the dust.

They've threatened to pull out of Canada if they don't " get what they
want".Fiat has most likely looked at the Management (as ****ty as it
is ) and are nervous. The CAW has said if that happens, they'll never
sell another car in Canada.
Besides, the Canadian employees do more work, with less injury....


---------------------------

You spinmiesters crack me up. Go read the announcement by Fiat.
It specifically states that they want the UAW and CAW to get in line
with
the pay and benefit packages typical of Toyota and Honda. It also
states that the strongest opposition to the Fiat requirements are
coming
from the CAW. So far, the CAW won't budge. Pretty soon they will be
out
of a job.

Chrysler doesn't pay it's tax bills either. They owe Canada $500,000
from
2002 or something like that. Real welchers. Shut them down, we don't
need that kind of leach business model in Canada. Plus, from what
friends
tell me they still don't know how to make a automatic transmission. Ya,
I
bought 2 in the past and learned the hard way.

May tag says what I think of GM & Chrysler.

GM, GMAC, Carlyle, Chrysler-Cerberus, CAW-UAW, get your
selfish greedy hands out of our pockets!
We don't steal from you!
Why do you steal from us?


Just had a yearly safety inspection done on the 2007 Dodge Charger by the
dealer where we bought it.
They claimed the outer tie rod ends were wore out and had to be replaced
before passing the inspection.
This is at 66,000 kilometers...about 40 k miles.

Sounds like a local dealer hitting up the factory for unneccesary
repairs in lean times.

Could be. A local Chrysler dealer I pass by had lots of vehciles last year,
but lately, not much new on the lot. Maybe they don't want to be stuck with
inventory in Canada for the $500M past due tax bill?
