For the past several years Fiats have been competing with Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Hyundai and others in Italy, Europe and around the world. Is it possible that your perception regarding Fiat quality are outdated?

Replying to: hpmctorque (Jan 19, 2009 6:06 pm) Just what you need - two struggling companies together. My initial reaction is that this is an even worse idea than the GM - Chrysler merger. I'll be very pleased to be proven wrong.

Replying to: steve_ (Mar 10, 2009 10:04 am) "It's hard to say things are good when sales were only down 25 percent [retail]. That's terrible, but it's less terrible than the industry decline of 40 percent," said the always upbeat Press. There's nothing to say that the 40% decline in sales is ALL retail, NONE fleet. And it ignores that the declines among the Japanese Big 3 were substantially less than 40%. Edmunds.com, parent of AutoObserver.com, estimates Chrysler spent about $5,556 per vehicle in incentives in February, an industry and a Chrysler-all-time high, Does it matter how good or bad sales are if they sell every one at a steep loss? And the tone of the whole thing is belied by the fact that Chrysler just asked for another $5 billion, or was it $6 billion, just to fund operations in 2009. I don't believe in Chrysler's future. |
