Magna buys Chrylser

So it's official. Canadian company (Magna Cerebus) just bought Chrysler. Please note, Magna is a non-union company.

autonews.com / autoweek.com nor edmunds.com have nothing newsy about any Chrysler sale. Nothing on cnn.com or foxnews.com either.

off topic: (Tribune Company sold~new owner says the Chicago Cubs are for sale).

autonews.com reports that Ford has sold its in-house fuel rail unit, and has a sale pending on their prop (driveshaft) shaft unit.

There is still nothing about any Chrysler sale on cnn.com or foxnews.com The Chrysler board meets on April 4, 2007 for its monthly meeting. Anything posted on a forum regarding a sale is more worthless than titz on a mule unless a link to a reliable news source is given. Got one?


Nothing Cerberus' website either.

cnn.com has an article about Cerberus, but still nothing about any sale.

cnn.com also has an article on Ford. It isn't pleasant reading, or good news.

Surely you're not suggesting that an internet forums would be a reliable source of info concerning something as large as the sale of The Chrysler Group. Add to the adsence of ANY traditional media exposure and you have silliness.

What did I say in my 5th post? Did you read it?

I'm still waiting for you to post a reliable news source about any possible Chrysler sale. A Dodge forum is hardly a reliable source.

There's still nothing on fox, cnn, or msnbc.com

Of all the news sources, one would think the Detroit Free Press' website would have something, but their headline reads "Jays beat Tigers in home opener." There's not a peep about any Chrysler sale.

I guess no one has bothered reading the Dodge forum, the paragon of news reporting!

Oh btw, while Magna-Cerberus may be a non union company (it's an investment firm, for Pete's sake!) a contract is a contract, regardless of who buys what. The UAW contract stands.

You're a day late and a dollar short. The 1st of April is April Fools Day.

Of course, there's no shortage of fools, here or anyplace else.
