G.M. is about to fail. The Saab unit is being cut loose for the Swedish government to save if they want to. Saab is not important to G.M. On the other hand, the German government has been moving to take over Opel for a while now. G.M. has owned Opel since 1928-1930, and Opel is a key component of GM. Opel does V6 engine development, and the Opel platform is used throughout GM. The Cadillac CTS uses an Opel platform and engine. Vauxhall in England is also part of that mix. Look for the Germans to take Opel.
Chrysler is done too. Maybe the U.S. Government will make a new company out of GM and Chrysler. That would be bad for GM, and be doing a favor for Cerberus and Daimler AG.
