They seem to be making a pretty damn good recovery all on their own.....if anything, Richard is 100% correct, other auto makers need GM more than GM needs anybody else.

GM has reduced its stake, but still owns substantial equity in Suzuki. And lest we not forget, GM and Toyota have been partners in the NUMMI Alliance since 1983. Chevy Nova? Chevrolet/Geo Prizm? Pontiac Vibe? Ring a bell? As for those other companies you mentioned, they know what you don't. GM is the world's largest auto manufacturer. As such, it brings considerable assets to the table. If there were a way to make it work, any and all of them would kill to partner with GM. 1c3d0g, Without GM, Suzuki’s automobile business gets a lot smaller.

Honda? Volkswagen? BMW? Or even more extreme, Ford? There aren't that many options left. :-| Suzuki is trying to distance itself from GM, Toy Ota is never interested in partnerships, Porsche is too exclusive, DaimlerChrysler has enough problems as it is...I just don't see who's left that's interested.

However, it is Nissan is not doing particularly well. Renault does nothing at all in the US. Pay-off Kerkorian and be done with this foolishness.

I for one see no reason for GM to join any alliance with Renault/Nissan as they have nothing to gain from a partnership. Kerkorian did this for two reasons: to increase the stock price of GM and to bring Ghosn into the mix. The former is fine by me, the latter is a joke. Good.
