Looks like bad times for the big 3. Not that they have not had enough already due to high debt and a Japanese automaker arsekicking.  :(

Did you see where GM sold billions in paper to BofA? Seems to me a bit short-sighted to sell off your cash cow(especially one that gives you a better ROI than any of your other divisions), but maybe they get a nice write down out of it.

Never the less, selling off cash flow seems suicidal in the short or long term...to me anyways.
