Chrysler to be bought by Fiat

[snoopdan 5,000+ posts]

US President Barack Obama has unveiled plans to support the ailing American auto industry. The White House has forced General Motors head Rick Wagoner to resign, and has asked GM to further consolidate its brands in exchange for 60 days of working capital. Meanwhile Chrysler received just 30 days of operating capital to finalize a proposed merger with Italian carmaker Fiat. Fiat Group CEO Sergio Marchionne says a Fiat-Chrysler alliance will strengthen Chrysler's finances, preserve American jobs and accelerate Chrysler's efforts to make fuel-efficient vehicles. Obama also suggested adopting similar schemes to those in some European countries to encourage consumers to buy new cars. A German scheme, which offers 2,500 euros for trade-ins of older cars, boosted annual new car sales in the country by more than 21%.

I know, i've owned three of them. They really are pretty well made, I had 300,000 miles on my X 1/9. First vehicle in history to have fiber optics for all the initernal dash lights. Only thing sucked was when the one bulb for the optics burnt out //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Keep buying foreign vehicles, we've almost irradicated our country of the nasty pariah known as the "American Auto Industry"!

The 300 has a lot of Mercedes engineering in it. They regreted buying Chrysler from day 1 though.

Had GM and Chrysler been sent down bankruptcy road last year they'd be on the way to rebuilding now instead of still having tons of debt and union liabilities dragging them down. Billions of tax dollars wasted...
