I don't think the Big Three automakers will get their wish. Besides, both Ford and GM have products coming within the next 24-48 months that will substantially increase their fleet fuel efficiency for the North American market, notably:

FORD

4th-generation Fiesta (coming late fall 2009)
3rd-generation Focus (coming some time in 2010)
4th-generation Mondeo (coming in 2012, which may keep the Fusion name)
2nd-generation Kuga (coming in 2012)

GM

3rd-generation Chevrolet Aveo (coming in 2010)
I/D-generation Opel Astra (to be sold under Saturn label by 2010)
2nd-generation Opel Meriva (likely to be sold under Chevrolet label by 2010)
Chevrolet Cruze (coming fall 2009 to North American market)

Yes those products are coming, I have seen one up close here in the States....

But the 25 billion would give them the Captial to retool quicker.

I hate to sound like the accountant from h@!!, but it about liquidlity and cash flow, they need an influx of capital/cash.
