GM v FCA isn't going away any time soon with the former reportedly seeking reinstatement of its racketeering case against the latter.
According to a Reuters report, General Motors has filed an appeal with the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati, seeking reinstatement of its racketeering lawsuit against Fiat Chrysler Automobiles.

A federal judge in Detroit threw out the lawsuit in July and rejected GM's bid to have it reinstated the following month, Reuters noted.
Earlier this year, Fiat Chrysler had asked a US court to toss out GM's lawsuit, calling it baseless.
