FIAT and CHRYSLER

Home away from home

I see today it was announced that an alliance between Fiat and Chrysler. Fiat will be taking a 35% interest in Chrysler, with the possibility of obtaining a 55% share of Chrysler in the future.

I hope the Italian government does a better job with Fiat/Chrysler than they did with Alitalia. Damlier still owns 19% of Chrysler which Im sure they'd love to dunp.

Owen: The present leadership of Fiat must be doing something right. As I recall Fiat in 2004 was on the brink of going under in 2004.

Perhaps I'm wrong, I thought the Italian government owned a controlling interest in Fiat and has been propping them up for years.

Hi all,

I recently bought a Chrysler/Daimler 300crd.

It has a Mercedes diesel motor with bags of torque and power but I am told it is not sold in the States because it is too dirty!

Anyway, I can tell you if there had of been ANY input from FIAT into this car I would not have bought it!

Here's some pictures of Chrysler 300's I took at a local car show:

The one car that Chrysler built during the 60's that always holds the most interest for me is the Chrysler Turbine cars built in 1964. The bodies I believe were built by Ghia.

A couple of years ago while at Hershey I actually had the great pleasure on seeing one them running on the public roads around Hershey. The only bad thing about seeing the car is that I couldn't get close enough to it to hear the turbine running.
