Well, the initial pleadings have been filed. Chrysler’s argument is essentially that it’s a “dead man walking.” In its opening memorandum of law in support of its motion to approve the sale , Chrysler argues that if the “sale” doesn’t close on the accelerated timetable proposed, it will wither on the vine, resulting in “a rapid and severe loss of value.” (Mem. at 10). Surprisingly, though, Chrysler’s opening memorandum doesn’t squarely address the issue laid bare in my previous post and in the preliminary objection of the dissident lenders; that is, why isn’t the proposed transaction a sub rosa plan of the kind prohibited under the law of the Second Circuit?

Highway mileage would top even that of the Ford Escape hybrid. BY JORDAN BROWN General Motors has announced that it expects the 2010 Chevrolet Equinox to receive EPA ratings of 22 mpg city and 32 mpg highway with the base 2.4-liter direct-injected Ecotec inline-four and front-wheel drive. Combined with a previously announced starting price of $23,930, the upcoming crossover appears to be shaping up into a solid competitor in the small-ute segment. The standard mill is rated at 182 hp, and the expected highway mileage gives the SUV a projected range of up to 600 miles, according to the automaker. (The Equinox will also be available with all-wheel drive as well as a 255-hp, 3.0-liter direct-injected V-6.) Keep Reading: 2010 Chevrolet Equinox Expected to Achieve 32 MPG Highway – Car News
