Ducati BMW Automobiles

Tính "hai mặt" của Ducati: Vừa chỉn chu vừa lơ đễnh.

Automobiles, Car Pictures, Car review, Car component, car and girl
Lời quảng cáo hiệu quả và dễ nhớ nhất: "Áo khoác Ducati rất mềm".
Triết lý thống nhất Ducati: "Bao giờ cũng có chỗ hở, chỗ kín".
Nhưng kín và hở phải ấn tượng như nhau.
Khoảng trống... vô tận của chữ Ducati trên ngực áo.
Vẻ đẹp Ý.
Tinh thần Ý.

It also underscores possible obstacles for both stocks and the wider economy as buyouts begin to slow. This has already been evident in the stock market's big rally this year, in which major U.S. banks and brokerages have lagged sharply behind.

For instance, on Tuesday investors jittery about the credit markets sent shares of financial stocks sharply lower _ and brought major market indexes along with them.

This year, Goldman Sachs alone has underperformed the Dow Jones industrial average by 11.2 per cent and the Standard & Poor's 500 index by 7.9 per cent.

Pete Hastings, an auto industry corporate bonds analyst with Morgan Keegan & Co., said he expects Cerberus to get the financing it needs, but not on the terms it would have received six months ago when liquidity was more abundant.

``I do think the deal eventually gets done. It'll cost them more,'' Hastings said.

Uncertainty about funding isn't stopping Chrysler, and its 80,000 employees, from preparing. Cerberus' bid to buy Chrysler is a stunning reversal of the takeover of the Jeep and Dodge maker by Daimler Benz AG in 1998. Although it was billed as a merger that would create a global automotive powerhouse, the corporate cultures clashed and the companies never fully integrated their operations.

Chrysler spokesman Jason Vines said he had a meeting Tuesday morning with chief executive Tom LaSorda to plan activities for the first day under Cerberus' ownership.

The company is planning a giant party at its headquarters complex that will celebrate the new Chrysler. No date has been set, but Vines said it would likely occur within the next two weeks.
