Chrysler? I have no idea what to make of Chrysler yet. GM? I think they'll be a better company, but I worry that they are still playing a numbers game. They are still so big and over-capacity seems a critical aspect of their corporate DNA despite the massive corporate changes taking place at GM. Ultimately, despite growing populations, less conventional cars produced per year is a very real possibility soon. Within a decade auto-driving technologies will be cost-effective. That could create a whole new era of car-sharing. Simply subscribe, enter your travel times and every morning and evening a safe, intelligent, internet-enabled solar-powered pod transports subscribers to work, school, etc. and back for a tiny fraction of the cost of car ownership. The work commute instead becomes an ideal time to get a head start on the day, to communicate, to relax or play games. If time is money, turning a commute into a money-saving and money-making experience will be a money-making business. It seems far-fetched today, but the technology already exists. It's just the business model, costs and consumer acceptance that have to change. However, when you can let the savings do the talking, you'll quickly find the customers. I can see it now.

Although the hopes of the Big 3 "getting it" may be off. Ford, maybe, but the other two haven't gotten it for almost 20 years now. Very good article.
