[Autoblog] Chrysler supposedly in 'chaos', suppliers could demand COD - Autoblog: The report cites three sources with knowledge of Chrysler's supplier dealings as saying that suppliers are nervous about bankruptcy, and as a result may beginning to ask for cash on hand in return for parts. A Chrysler spokesperson called the 'chaos' term unwarranted, and said that the loss of jobs will help the company to "continue the transformation of our company." Mega-supplier Borg Warner, for one, told Automotive News that all of the Detroit automakers are currently paying their bills on time, and there have been no reports of Chrysler not paying any large suppliers.

[AutoblogGreen] Chrysler's bipartisan bailout "partnership for technology ...: As Chrysler is now owned by Cerebus Capital Management, a financial investment firm, It makes me suspect that they'd like to get a low interest loan from the government, then use that money to make higher yield (and potentially risky) investments, instead of bothering to upgrade production at Chrysler. If Cerebus ever figures that it would be more profitable to liquidate Chrysler than to keep it going, that is exactly what they'll do.

[Autoblog] Get ready for mileage to drop: new EPA rating system unveiled ...: Hondafan, i hate lawyers, but you do make an interesting point, manufacturers KNEW that the numbers EPA provided were false, and they actively lobied the government not to change them.
