Re: slide show for new year's celebration around the world
That's cool..
How come other cities can put on such wailing good displays like that, but Toronto's was so lame? It's always lame...
Really Mickey Mouse.
On the North American auto-maker crisis..
I predicted this a few months ago.
GM and Chrysler should merge.. They both have strong Truck divisions, Chrylser has Jeep, GM has some good hybrids already in showrooms and more in the pipe.. They could eliminate 50% of their dealerships, management and manufacturing plants in the process.
Otherwise, both will die or be absorbed by a Japanese automaker.
Ford can't survive on it's own. And I don't think it's product line or corporate structure is as conducive to a merger with either GM or Chrysler as the latter two are with each other.
I think Ford will be taken over or voluntarily merge with a Japanese automaker.
Honda would be the best fit..
Anyway.. if all three collapsed and vanished, the shockwaves would plummet the North American economy into a depression worse than the Great Depression of the 1930's.
