The best thing to do is to file for bankruptcy asap. Nothing good will come out of the union with FIAT. Nobody buys FIAT cars outside the EU anyway.

Alex buying Chrysler allows Fiat a big and established Dealer network for selling their “fantastic” small ones in the USA. Instant credibility in a burgeoning small car market.

I couldnt agree more, fiat will be owned by the UAW why would they want that.. why would they give up being a self controled company to merge and give up everything for what?.. . a car company thats about to go belly up omg whoever signes this from fiat is one bribed up CEO because they wont care so long as they get the money for that signature

Why on earth is a great brand like Fiat jumping on that sinking ship? Fiat should stay away from Chrysler and big cars and focus on their fantastic small ones.

I think like many I’ll have a tear in my eye if Chrysler goes to the wall, purely because they did things a bit different and they were producing desirable, but unreliable cars, GM has had its day, but it will be sad if Chrysler goes.

So it’s a choice between a union-controlled Chrysler or a bankrupt Chrysler. The best alternative is no Chrysler at all, because who the Hell’s going to buy the products of either entity?
What everyone’s forgetting is that the market has shrunk 40%, so who needs Chrysler, or GM for that matter?

At least this time when they drive Chrysler into the ground they will have no one to blame but themselves.

So the unions play a large part in driving Chrysler to the brink of bankruptcy then then end up the majority shareholder in the ensuing debacle. What a joke.
