U.S. Could Take Stakes in Big 3 Auto Makers

Why not merge GM, Ford, and Chrysler into one company and reduce the number of vehicle models to a half dozen or less (compact / coupe / sedan / wagon / van / suv) and make them all plug-in hybrids with flex-fuel tanks and make them easily upgradeable to other upcoming energy and safety technologies, and then only ship a few examples to each metropolitan area, and then have customers custom design their own on a computer and have it made to order?
