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.

Earlier this year, Fiat Chrysler had asked a US court to toss out GM's lawsuit, calling it baseless.
