Of course the question is, how will Ford compete against the federal government? The “owners” of GM will be making all the rules under which Ford will be required to operate. Won’t THAT be fun!
How is GM going to compete with Chery Motors? This article’s source aside, the fact that Chery already has plug in hybrids on the street for half the cost of the Volt will sink GM for good. I’m willing to bet that GM scraps the Volt and rebadges Chery cars instead. Perhaps Chery even obtains GM inexchange for failing US Treasuries.
