    Who would even bail them out at this point? They’re such a weird mega merger that they cover legacy brands in 5 states.

    It’s one thing for the French to bail out Citroen and Peugot but would they also want to bail out Opel and Vauxhall too? Do the Italians want to foot the bill for Fiat and Chrysler eating dirt? Plus on the American end this would be, what? The 5th time they’d be asking for a bailout and this time a good chunk of the rescue capital wouldn’t even be guaranteed to maintain jobs Stateside. At this point the doomsday scenario of 79 and 08 of just having GM strip Chrysler for parts would probably seem preferable.
