Autocar:Chrysler has requested more money from the US government for its finance arm, saying that it can improve sales by 20 per cent if it can provide credit to buyers.
- this most surely go down as one of the greatest/most laughable sayings to date in this whole 'Alice Through the Looking Glass' economic bust. It's like a publican saying to a brewery 'I can shift more beer if you provide the dough to set up tabs for my thirsty drinkers'. Who would have thought it.
Nardelli, you punk, it was this cocked-up, ponzi economy, credit binge that brought about the collapse in the first place. Be honest you miserable liitle git and admit you just want dough from somewhere else to prop up a bust business. Hell, if money/credit's the problem standing in the way of 'pent-up' demand why not just go the whole hog and give people cash direct, by printing up new readies. The same argument is applied by economic 'geniuses' to housing. There's tons of pent-up demand if only mortgages became freely available again. Yeah and amongst Autocar readers there's 100% pent-up demand for most supercars under the sun but that don't mean we all deserve dough to be able to buy them. Hell if we did, what's the point in working, being economically productive? Why not just whistle up a few more bundles of cash from the doughmine and stop worrying. What could go wrong with such a system?
And Nardelli, if it's lack of finance for Chrysler buyers you're worried about how about speaking to your employers at Cerberus who are starving GM dealers of finance deals from the Cerberus majority-owned GMAC company. You couldn't make this nonsense up.
