On the same day that General Motors announced that it would be discontinuing talks with Cerberus over a possible purchase of Chrysler, news hits by way of Reuters that a new suitor has sprung up. Wow, that didn't take long. The latest partner is none other than Hyundai, Korea's largest automaker. Not surprisingly, it's the Jeep brand that is again taking center stage according to these initial rumors. Everybody wants Jeep, it seems. If true, the possibility of breaking Chrysler's automotive operations into bits and pieces once again seems like a distinct possibility. What's more, after acknowledging that GM is abandoning talks of a "strategic acquisition," Chrysler's Bob Nardelli may now be back on the phone with Carlos Ghosn, head of the Nissan/Renault juggernaut, along with, presumably, anybody else that's willing to listen and has a pulse. Ford's probably not interested, considering that it has got its own problems to worry about. Today was truly a tough day for all three of America's longstanding automakers.
