Rumour has it that if Gm are not bailed out then the German government will bail Opel out.

Yep. They were in talks last week, although how you can save a subsiduary while the parent company could go under has got me beat.

Opel would return to being a stand alone unit outside of GM control....

Not without GM's say-so it wouldn't. They still own it.

As said, if the US governemnt dont bail GM out.......Gm are already selling bits off i.e. Suzuki

Would that include vauxhall also, or would they go to selling opel here?

Tata own more UK industry thatn a lot of other companies, if they need money are things bad?

The Tata business model is to run them all as wholly seperate, independent entities.  If one of these businesses cannot survive on its own, they'll pull the plug on it.

Why the hell would the Government bail out the British car industry, and in particular Landrover, when they have been hell-bent on destroying it for the last 10yrs?

Agree with you TB..............the motor industry AND all other british industries were sold down the river years ago by our wonderful (NOT)governments .......and it is far far far tooooooo late to rescue them........we're dooomed  :-/ :-/
