"Fiat says it will buy the US government's 6% stake in Chrysler, which will give the Italian carmaker a majority share in the US company."

Mercede Benz did real well when they bought Chrysler

Interesting.


They seem to be doing a good job so far...

I say go for it - Chrysler seems to always be on the edge- Maybe some Italian spices will liven their image up.

They used to own a large stake in Lamborghini. That didn't seem to spice anything up.

I think Fiat wants a dealership network for their compact car line.

Like BMW did with Rover?

I think Germans were having a difficult time managing foreign companies.

Let the Italians give some good wine to the folks in Detroit, and it'll liven things up. Hopefully for the better...

If the Germans manage foreign companies badly, how bad can the Fiat folks be? Maybe they'll at least give Chrysler the Multi-Air tech in the deal.

All us Chrysler fans have been praying for Multi-Air tech to get into the engine line up.

Hope runs high!

Very good. Bro-town could use a quality wine. John--Las Vegas.
