Question Who will be the next automaker to bite the dust?

Which will be the next automaker (or division) to bite it or be fully assimilated into another?

Winner gets:

One (1) attaboy.
Five (5) "I told you so's" to be used in the 5th gen forums.




My vote is for Izuzu! I bet they go under before Fiat!

I don't think Isuzu is going anywhere. I see alot of Axioms and Rodeos around here.

I got $20 on Mercury.

Izuzu is my first pick, Kia second, Mercury 3rd.. once the mini buzz is over that brand will be dead too, but that might take 5-7 years.

Didn't they just take a huge financial hit?

Olds doesn't count. They already announced they were going under...

You can't pick the lottery numbers after the lottery.
