    I believe the Chrysler / Fiat merger could work by bringing low cost, fuel efficient vehicles to the american market, and dumping it's products (like the Sebring) that never turned a head or a profit...

    But none of this will work while people are loosing jobs in record numbers and not at all in the position of (or even entertaining the idea of) buying a new car...

    Plus, there's a huge amount of competition...

    Chrysler and Fiat would have to come up with a great car at the right time, and the chances of that are as slim as can be...

    I imagine they will keep most of their Dodge trucks, as well as the Challenger, but who could even guess with any degree of accuracy, what cars and trucks will be in demand once the economy turns around ??

      I would think they would keep the truck lines, but dump the Challenger and Charger. Too big, not enough units sold on the Challenger. A great design, but unfortunate timing. It will be interesting to see how long Fiat commits and what it is going to take to attempt to turn it all around. A lot more money than anyone is letting on, I'm sure.

        I'm sure there is many a clown in a circus right now drooling over that car.

            Hopefully they'll be vehicles that use something other than 19th century technology engines to power them.

              Chyys'ler should have folded back when I a Criminalacocca took over introduced the K Car when imminent design failure of 2 years build in, on purpose,. to rip off the consumer and pay for a business that is based on
              a lie and socialist union gangsters.

              I see chrysler RAM TOUGH WORK TRUCKS driving down the suburban streets they never leave with thier WORK TRUCK plastic bumper 1/2 fallen off and dragging the ground every day.

              I saw on RAM TOUGH truck (in real time) rear end a lexus at 8-12mph and the bumper and grill and front end folded under istself.

              That a'comapany is a crime'a.

              Time Magazine and all you homos think he is a brilliant business man, to bring that company back from the brink.Whatever year he took over that Company has been doing nothing but selling junk to fools and should have folden then instead of being an burden to those that purchase and a inside joke to the ones who run it.

              You Ignorant fukks.

              Let then Die......... Fiat or you will be dead in a matter of months.

                      Oh and P.S. ...Chrysler took thier share of the Billion Billion Trillion that was given by our goverment with promises to stay afloat and support thier employees and the great Chrysler name about -one month ago-.

                      ...Paid all the executive the Billion Billion Trillion and now are claiming bankruptcy on the Debtors/Vendors... who believed in them, and the investors, and the employees, and the American people.

                      But you all are looking forward to the NEW CARS!!!!!! #######????

                        Maybe. maybe their the ones buying up the Mini Coopers that you have to sign up on a waiting list for to get? The one that the 500 nearly outsells in Europe...

                          I agree with you there. If only they would have released the Challenger in 05...they might have taken alot of Mustang buyers away. I don't know why they waited.

                            No matter what Fiat does, the US will get the shitty versions.

                            Emission controlls will choke them out.

                              The Challenger isn't going away, at least not for awhile...

                              The 300 and the Charger will remain as well...
