The government's "Cash for Clunkers" program may have only added 125,000 vehicle sales, according to Edmunds.com, which said the rest of the units sold would have happened regardless of the program.

Cash for Clunkers is officially a success.    Consumers are streaming into showrooms and cars are selling.   But less than a month into the plan, that success is generating concerns among dealers which may stall the program less than a month into it.

Bus tours of GM and Chrysler execs' homes?   Angry marches through the bucolic neighborhoods of Bloomfield Hills, Michigan?
Let's hope not.   But one wonders if GM will end up getting  any of the same treatment so far reserved for AIG... given that it's entirely possible the bankrupt car company could replace the insurance company as [...]]]></description>

Remember the Chrysler TC?   Don't worry, few do and those who do wish they didn't.
Today's Fiat / Chrysler deal is not the first time the now bankrupt automaker has partnered with an Italian car company.   Back in the mid-1980s Chrysler partnered up with (now Fiat owned) Maserati to build the "TC."  It was meant to [...]]]></description>

Lost in the headlines about the Chrysler bankruptcy and Fiat purchase is that Fiat says it will use this to return to the North American market for its Fiat and Alfa brands.   It is already here with the Ferrari brand, but it wants a piece of the American mass market.

Cheap and easy credit helped get the American economy into this mess, but apparently cheap and easy credit is going to get us out.   At least that's what General Motors is hoping, but the government-backed easy money may create more headaches than it cures.
