The evaluation of bids for General Motors Corp.'s (GM) German
unit Adam Opel GmbH, should be carried out quickly, a person
familiar with the matter told Dow Jones Thursday.
The German government is currently evaluating the bids, the
person said, adding there is no fixed deadline.
General Motors Europe said late Wednesday Italy's Fiat (F.MI),
Canadian autoparts maker Magna International Inc. (MGA) and RHJ
International Ltd. (RHJI.BT) are in the running to take over its
Opel unit. Germany said it will choose a preferred suitor early
next week.
