They haven't owned Ferrari for a few months now.

Fiat and Alfa are beautifully designed but horribly engineered cars. Just look at how much trouble Alfa has had to push the new sport sedan into our market. They might turn a nice profit in Europe but not enough to prop up the excess baggage of the North America side of the company.

GM wouldn't need most of FCA, they'd probably only keep a handful of models (the Jeeps, maybe the Charger and likely integrate the Ram engineering that is proving to win out in comparison tests) around and let the rest die. I don't expect they'll have to offer very much at all as it is becoming more and more of a fire sale situation. The other poster noted that GM has killed off brands that they could revive but really none of them had much respect in the market other than MAYBE Pontiac and the Hummers to a small percentage (even though the final Hummer products were pieces of shit). What GM does have is a few small holes in their lineup (off-road inspired SUVs, Cop Cars, etc.) and the experience with cherry picking from their brand portfolio to come out the other side.
