Chrysler-Fiat? Jeep-Fiat? ???
« on: May 06, 2009, 05:55:12 PM »
Factory stock Jeep Wrangler JK Rubicons can go almost anywhere you might want to try...







With FIAT having a controlling interest in Chrysler (meaning Jeep), will things change?

In anticipation of the future, I figured, why not be the first to drive a badged Jeep Wrangler Ronzonicon?







My regards,


Widewing

The fiat version will be about 1/3rd of the size with little 10" wheels. It might not be able to traverse a horshoe crab.

Actually, didn't controlling interest in Chrysler go to the UAW, with Fiat being a minor investor?

My mom had a fiat in the '80s, and, yes, it broke down constantly.  Fix It Again Tony might have been the first acronym I ever learned.

On the other hand, my brother in law is a transportation designer, and his first job out of school was with Fiat.  He's given me reason to believe that it's a very different company today than the one that gave us headaches two decades ago.

Correct.  55% of Chrysler is controlled by the UAW.

I disagree.   For the UAW it's simple, put up or shut up.   They've already made many concessions leading up to this.   They know if they screw this up, it's curtains.

With the Union running things I don't see much hope for the company. It was the Unions that put the car companies into the condition they are in now.
