Everyone will be happy this way :) its no choice.. bailout will be the solution. bmpower…

So, a loan will push the eventual demise of the Detroit big 3 to Obama’s era and not his. What a clever move. The initial push for a clearer business direction for the big 3 was taken a back seat. If you guys remember, the very reason why the loan was not approved was because of this very issue. Back then. the 3 CEO’s were not able to clearly and convincingly tell the Senate and the American public what they would do to bring their respective corps out of the mess. They still don’t !. Yet the loan somehow get approved. Do you see the logic? After the shoe-throwing incident, Bush is very desperate to avoid another instance to his disaster-filled legacy.

To build a whole brand new car, it would've take abt 4 yrs. Sure, design can be safe, engine n gearbox just take from somebody else, like say a small peug/fiat diesel? But there's also the machineries, the softwares to tell the robot how to stamp, mold press blabla. That'll take time. N those detroit 3, doesn't hv that luxury. Might as well sell them to somebody else. A chance for perodua to own them n enter US market? They can offer them small compact hatchback to the americans, n we'll finally be satisfied that perodua is actually doing something rather than becoming the jap's dog all the time.

Bailing out simply put is directly injecting fresh funds when the company is in the red, as in the case of GM and Chrysler. Proton got some relief on duties as do Perodua and Inokom, being the other "National cars', but never direct funds from the Govt, else the taxpayers and the oppoition parties will be screaming for blood. Yeah, i know bashers will say 'same thing'. Bmpower – correct me if i am wrong, but our Govt never bail out Proton.
