UPDATE 2009-01-21: The Deal is done? Deal signed between Fiat and Chrysler - Radio NZ
Fiat + Chrysler doesn't seem like a brilliant idea at first thought. Anything + Chrysler would be a bundle of trouble I reckon. Although Fiat need volume and US distribution I hope they find a better answer. Fiat's US legacy is dire but is a rather distant memory. Fiat is now a very different beast to the company that abandoned the US leaving a trail of rust in it's path
Chrysler is a disaster today and I can't see it doing anything to enhance a brand. File this one under "Last Resort".
