This is the most confusing and ridiculous car news I have read ever.

Chrysler goes bankruptcy and the most lousy EU car manufacturer
FIAT buys the company for very cheap.

:thumbsdown:

FIAT is a car that lasts for two years - max.

After this MoPar is spelled More spare Parts needed from Italy


Cant wait what happens to the GM. It will be called the GCM, General Chines Motors

Actually, Fiat is not buying Chrysler, they are taking a 20% interest in exchange for providing Chrysler with fuel-efficient technology (USA Today) and will sell Fiat cars under the new Chrysler brand in the US.

The UAW will technically own the new corporation, although the US government is pumping significant money into the corporation.

Quote from CNN: As a result of that deal, the UAW will own 55% of Chrysler. Fiat will own a 20% stake with the option of increasing it to 35%. The U.S. government will own 8% and Canada will have a 2% stake.

State (UAW) is overtaking, as in nationalizing and communism.

The Soviets (Russia) proved that it will not work.

Yes, the Italians are the best help you could get now.

OMG.


I could tell you some more facts but I don't dare...

It will be renamed as the Chrysler C500 for the US markets and get a double exhaust.

The Spaghetti version comes with a lowered chassis.

The Pizza version has a green/white/red paint job.

The Silvio Berlusconi version gives all above and a
free valet parking in any major US city and mafia protection.

+1. When people start talking about socialist revolutions when this country is trying to save jobs for people who need them, it may be time to send him on his way. His negativity doesn't even make sense.
