Thursday in "Detroit Breakdown," The Deal newsroom weighs in on the efforts to rescue the U.S. auto industry. Among the highlights:

  • Bankruptcy reporter John Blakeley ponders how long General Motors Corp. will be able to avoid bankruptcy and cajole Congress into providing more bailout funds, citing a GM bankruptcy feature he wrote recently for The Deal magazine.
  • Corporate Dealmaker editor Kenneth Klee weighs in on the Saturn saga and how GM's corporate myopia and lack of focus may be more responsible than the recession for the brand's uncertain future.
  • Meanwhile, Dealscape editor Matthew Wurtzel goes beyond Saturn to consider the fates of two other GM assets: Saab and Adam Opel.

Check out the Detroit Breakdown topic center for these and other posts and check in each day for another updated topic center on Dealscape.
