Germans Angry with US Role in Opel Negotiations

I'm angry also. The US government now owns close to 72% of GM. No one wants to buy the vehicles because one only knows when the government will change the rules and leave me and others holding the proverbial bag/car. The germans are upset for other reasons of course but it all comes down to the same thing....government has no business in the auto industry.

Angela Merkel's Chancellery, there is still no plan in place to save Opel from following GM into bankruptcy. The problem, say Berlin politicians, is a lack of transparency -- and a surprise 300 million euro demand -- from the Americans.
