Who can afford to buy a car company? I cahn.

If you think Carl Icahn has been a pest insinuating himself and his money into the Yahoo Microsoft deal, you ain’t seen nothing yet. Always with an eye for big corporations, Mr. Icahn can smell General Motors’ blood in the water, so you know he’s thinking about pilfering GM and wondering which car brand he wants to take on.
 
In order to jump in to the soon-to-be GM fire sale, though, he will need to do something with his Yahoo holdings. The dude doesn’t even use a computer for goodness sake, but he does own some cars. 
 
My bet? He’ll go for the GM brand whose manufacturing facilities can scale down to compact cars with the least amount of friction. Saturn? Peace!
