I've long enjoyed the depreciation curve of used French cars. They got rust issues properly licked around '87-91. Not much rust risk in post-99 Alfas/Fiats either.

Chrysler should just fold. They have decades of failure and bankruptcy, and have also endured failed mergers, and still keep looking for someone to prop them up. Such a poorly run organisation. Seems like they are always on the brink.

Given the extreme pains to keep things even, I would thaink that the powers in each organisation believe the two companies to be equals

I think its a great idea. Hopefully with their newfound size they will be able to gobble up some Chinese Manufacturers as well.
Unite all the **** cars under one badge, so its easier for informed people to steer clear. |

I like it Dazz, the British Leyland method. What could possibly go wrong?

Hmmm
I think FCA is in bigger trouble than they let on, so hence the need to find a partner. |

It'll be outrageously expensive to fix and repair and you'll have to wait 6 weeks for parts from the slow boat from China - one of those 'don't own outside of warranty' jobs as per everything from FCA, Peugeot/Citroen and VAG.
