Chrysler concluded its deal with Fiat on Wednesday, June 10, 2009, which in effect ended its 42 day reorganization through bankruptcy. As part of the deal the federal government gave Chrysler $6.6 billion in exit financing. Under the terms of the agreement Chrysler sold the bulk of its assets to Fiat. This was an important milepost for the Obama administration which has been seeking to aid the ailing American auto industry after years of losses and declining sales. Chrysler and government officials had repeatedly demanded that the court approve the restructuring quickly inasmuch as Chrysler was losing approximately $100 million a day while its plants were shut and other overhead costs had to be paid. It is anticipated by Chrysler, Fiat, and the federal government that a new car maker will emerge unburdened by the present debt levels and labor costs. Fiat will run the new company that will now also sell smaller fuel-efficient cars worldwide.

It has been reported that GM is close to concluding a deal with Koenigsegg, a Swedish manufacturer of high end sports cars. This was reported on Swedish television which also reported that a group of Norwegian investors were part of the proposed deal. Saab, operating under Swedish law, had separated from GM in February and thereafter announced that it was seeking new investors to take over the company. Thus far, unlike the United States government, the Swedish government has refused to provide any loan guarantees or capital infusions. It is withholding such decisions until there is an actual sale of the company. Koenigsegg is a small manufacturer of high-performance sports cars which was founded in 1994 and is recognized as a company that produces ultra fast cars and for its attempts to break speed records.

It is expected that many GM cars will be sold at heavily discounted prices particularly by dealerships scheduled to close during this period.

General Motors has entered into an agreement with Penske Automotive Group, the nation’s second-biggest automobile dealer, to sell Saturn to Penske for an undisclosed amount. In February GM had announced its intention to shut Saturn by 2012 if no buyer could be found. It subsequently announced that it would discontinue Saturn by the end of 2009. Under the terms of the agreement Penske will buy GM’s inventory of Saturn cars together with acquiring its parts inventory and the right to sell other vehicles through the network of Saturn dealerships. The deal would save approximately 13,000 jobs at Saturn and its 350 dealerships. Penske, the second-biggest dealership group in sales owns 310 franchises around the world. It is also the sole distributor for Daimler’s Smart small cars.
