“That has left GM suspecting that Germany is pandering to labor unions and seeking to curry favor with Moscow in preferring Magna.”

“No wonder GM has revived ‘Plan B’ and may attempt to raise the $4.3 billion Opel needs to survive from other sources.”

maybe it has to do with the Magna Charta – that old document saying everyone has the right to mobility, and own their own car(s).
