Delphi and Delco
 

Delphi makes/made parts for GM sorta like Delco whats the difference? I guess I dont understand the relationship and google is not working for me tonight.

i believe that Delphi also makes alot of parts for other manufacturers too

And satellite radios for people.

And in reorganization to avoid bankruptcy court. Sirrius put a Serious bite into XM's butt.

While I admit Sirius did take a significant chunk of market share away from XM, Delphi's financial problems go much deeper than that, and are primarily rooted in mismanagement while under GM. Sirius was the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back.

I believe OEM workings of delco were incorporated into delphi, which is the main OEM supplier for GM. GM has partial ownership in delphi, but it is a separate company, whereas delco was a GM subsidiary. Vistoen is the equivilent for ford, they produce their radios, HVAC exupiment, etc. but are not owned completely by ford. Autolite is another name that comes to mind.

I belive that the reason Sirius took away marketshare from XM is because of two words:

Howerd Stern

which by the way signed a 5 year $500 Million dollar deal. Now thats Serious!!

Most overpayed idiot in the world. I can't stand these retarded "shock jocks." He was one of the reasons I went with XM over Sirius (I know XM has "Opie and Anthony" but it's the principle of not supporting that moron Stern)

delphi is in bad shape we have a location about 15miles away that is closing in a month or two

Over 7,000 blue colar jobs are being cut in Michigan. Those are in the already depressed areas: Flint, Saginaw, Detroit. Only one plant will remain in Michigan, Coopersville, near Grand Rapids.
