Chrysler's plan to emerge includes new management, a new board, an Italian partner, a revamped product lineup, less plant capacity, fewer workers and dealers and, potentially, a NEW NAME.
Perhaps the New Name is Government Motors Deux, or GM-2?

The new company will be run by a nine-person board with six independent members appointed by the government and three appointed by Fiat, including an employee.
Government Run!

The governments of the U.S. and Canada comprise a collective 10 percent stake and an independent health fund trust to be run by the United Auto Workers will hold a 55 percent stake but without equivalent voting rights.
So even though the UAW owns 55 percent their voting rights are owned by the Government?

All this almost wants me to re-name the company so as to not pollute the history of the name.
