It is an automated dual-clutch manual transmission that is not just state of the art, but probably the most advanced transmission in the world. 2) GM has $19 billion cash on hand as you say. 3) Ford has a lot of money because they took out a huge mortgage in order to survive. 4) Japanese have tons of cash. I am shocked you have not seen how much profit Toyota makes. It is simply insane. And as for image, Toyota has purchased before. Still, I would not expect or want Toy or Honda to buy Chrylser. I respect Toyota and Chrysler too much, and I don't respect Honda enough. 5) Obviously companies with lots of cash could buy chrysler, could they run it? Bill Gates could buy it himself. 6) Mitsu is concentrating on its own issues. GM has some amazing technology even if you aren't aware of it. I somehow doubt Volkswagen has Hitler's picture showing on their wall. Sorry that you have not done any research.
