Nissan would bring an incredible V6 engine lineup.

GM has good drivetrains. Family owned a GM for 14 years and we went through one water pump...that was IT.

Both have better interior materials.

GM's vastly improved fit and finish, starting with the new trucks and SUVs, is now moving into their cars (new Malibu, Camaro).

Any of the above couldn't hurt.

Default Chrysler Advisory Board Statement

Here is their canned statement from the Advisory Board website:
Chrysler Merger Statement
Chrysler LLC as a matter of policy does not confirm or disclose the nature of its private business meetings. As we have said, the Company is looking at a number of potential global partnerships as it explores growth opportunities around the world. Beyond those partnerships already announced however, Chrysler has not formed any new agreements and has no further announcements to make at this time.

Default GM, Chrysler Merger Talks Accelerating

"Merger talks between General Motors and privately held Chrysler are moving at a faster pace as potential lenders have thrown their support behind a deal between the two U.S.-based automakers, CNBC has learned."

"Sources have told CNBC that GM and Chrysler plan to either reach a deal within the next two weeks or abandon the talks."
