That was the debate we were having on Ken Grammer's Facebook page.  I just
thought with what's taking place these days it wouldn't seem a stretch for
Obama, but at the same time it would harldy be amusing.  I also thought C&D
would be above it, but you never know....
 
When I Googled it, the only thing that had come up was the article below, the
original piece, but then a few non-related discussions about how it truly is
expected GM & Dodge will end their involvment based-on some things seen and
heard.
 
But yah, the general consensus is that it was joke.

I think C&D got their April Foolishness in gear a day early. There's not a
hint of this anywhere else.

  If it's true...



  And it won't be just NASCAR.  If there won't be any so-called Malibus and
  Chargers, there also won't be any Corvettes, Vipers, etc.   I'd make noise
  about this to anyone and everyone you know.

  I'll admit, I voted for Obama, and I'm starting to wish I hadn't.  Why
  couldn't McCain have come-up with a decent running mate...

Gee, I don't know about that, I thought it was hilarious! Autoblog rated it #1
of their 10 best automoive April Fool's jokes of the year.

blog.com/2009/04/01/auto-april-fools-round-up/>

Also really liked the BMW Magnetic Tow system and the Autoline Daily video
revealing the legendary 100mpg carb hidden at the Smithsonian. Turns out it's
an S.U.! (though they don't credit it as such....)
