Appeasing the gods of Comedic Pairing...

Fiat and Chrysler sign alliance plan

ROME (AP) -- Fiat and Chrysler said Tuesday they have agreed to form a strategic alliance that would give the Italian auto empire a 35-percent stake in the troubled U.S. carmaker and could eventually bring it full control.

The deal means Chrysler, which is fighting off bankruptcy and struggling to sell less fuel efficient larger models, would have access to new markets and cheaper, more environmentally friendly technologies.


It is quite possibly the world's most perfect automotive merger:

Fix

Again

A match made in heaven!

That is all.

My 87 still starts up every day, with no maintenance. Granted, they can be high maintenance, but wait til they come back in '10. Then we're really in trouble

You'd think that Fiat would have learned from Diamler's experience, but NOOOOOOOOO, they just have to try this. Does this mean Chrysler won't be taking any bail out money?

Who's next Peugot?
