Rational thought being that the POS company would not just vanish after bankrupcy, but come back just as it did after violating us taxpayers.
What exactly is the point of posting that picture?..You suggest for me to "move on" yet insist on posting pictures like this?

Just referencing our competition in Highland Park (Chrysler). :)

*Or is that Turin, Italy? I get confused about that sometimes.

Speaking of that other crappy company, what's the deal with the Ram trucks? Are they officially severed from Fiat?

Ryan

Nope- owned lock stock and barrel by Fiat. Some marketing genius decided to spin the trucks off as a separate division, but still part of Chrysler... errr, Chrysler/Fiat... err, Chrysler Group LLC.

Gawd, it's confusing. From Chrysler's website:

Chrysler Group LLC, formed in 2009 from a global strategic alliance with Fiat S.p.A., produces Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, SRT, Fiat and Mopar vehicles and products. With the resources, technology and worldwide distribution network required to compete on a global scale, the alliance builds on Chrysler Group’s culture of innovation, first established by Walter P. Chrysler in 1925, and Fiat’s complementary technology that dates back to its founding in 1899.

Headquartered in Auburn Hills, Mich., Chrysler Group’s product lineup features some of the world's most recognizable vehicles, including the Chrysler 300, Jeep Wrangler, Dodge Challenger and Ram 1500. Fiat contributes world-class technology, platforms and powertrains for small- and medium-size cars, allowing Chrysler Group to offer an expanded product line including environmentally friendly vehicles.

I had no idea a five year buyout was called a "strategic alliance."
