yeah well like I said some people will only beleive what they want! So I guess lets start a new rummer!!!

KIA is going to by Cummins so they can sell it to Caterpillar so they can close the business and Cat will rule the world

 

I heard from some GM higher ups that its a 50/50 shot that they will buy Chrysler, and the only reason is so nobody else can buy them...

 

Ford used to own KIA. Now Hyundai does, which DC owns 10% of. Try again...

 

Oh yeah....well.... well KIA stands for (Korean idiot associtaion) so ha!!!

Well the real sad thing I don't really like is the talks that have been takin place between Cat and Toyota!!!!

 

Won't happen, period. A C7 Cat will not fit in a Toyota, no matter how much they beef it up. I have spent a lot of time in a Sterling Actera with a C7 Cat, trust me, it would brake a Toyota in half. Cat is not interested in the light duty pick-up market.

 

I know!!! toyota wishes!! I used to work for Cat I was in the product support area and in power systems myself.

Well you know they could shoe horn in a 3304!!! A 3116 maybe!! At one time Cat was interested in light trucks but those days are long since gone!!

 

They are all in cahoots with one another. GM developed the DuraMax with Isuzu. Daimler owns control of Isuzu.

Now maybe I can get that F350 with the Silverado interior and a Cummins engine and Allison transmission.

Watch out for the Beast from the East................CHINA. They have mountains of money and are always looking to invest in US companies. Wow, a Cummins rice burn, I can't stand it.

 

Well the cummins CEO talked about having the 5.9 being built in china or japan? Can't remember which one, to cut cost even more from where the motors are made in Mexico. That is funny even mexico is losing money to the East!!!

Yeah in one sad way or another that are all in cahoots with each other. Like Gm was with Lotus then Gm and Ford started buying up european auto makers. Then europeans started buyin U.S. auto makers up. So the way the game goes I guess.

 

I'm pretty sure the 5.9L and 6.7L are not made in Mexico. I believe the 5.9 is manufactured in Columbus, IN...

 

Well I could have swore that they were assembled in Mexico. When they moved them down there Cummins was bragging about the increased profit margin they were enjoying? Then in more market news he (The CEO) was talking about moving that to the Orient. I will have to do some more checkin?

 

Cummins is not built in Mexico, it is built in the goodol USA. GM will get Cummins motors if they buy Chrysler, the existing Cummins-Chrysler Supply contract will stay in force. This not a who owns Cummins issue, Cummins owns Cummins, the issue is who holds the Supplier contract.It could be one of the few good reasons for GM to buy Chrysler. There is 3 more years on the existing contract, I wonder how much that is worth ?

 

This isn't about Dodge trucks or Cummins for that matter (18 percent of the truck market). What is the icon in the Chrysler line? Jeep is. 2009 Jeep Wrangler, also known as the H4...

 

Latest rumor is the Chinese car company 'Chery' is in negotations with DC for the Chrysler division.

I have seen other news/rumors on Chery being very aggressive in trying to get ownership/control over an American car manufacturer or distributor. It would not surprise me at all since American business interests seems secondary to the bottom line. The Global economy does not mean we need to sell out to global owners or divest globally, it means we should make a better American product and control the global market that way.

 

Very well put!!!!!!!!!!
