Well, if this guy is right, the upcoming Fiat-Chrysler merger stands a very strong chance of working. Can a successful Italian company succeed where a successful German one failed? A lot will depend on both sides listening to each other about how strengths and weaknesses are perceived. This is reported to not have happened during the Daimler years. It'll be interesting to see if it does with Fiat.
I'll believe it when I see it!

So the acronym for FIAT, "Fix It Again Tony," will now apply to Chrysler?
I hafta admit a certain level of skepticism myself.
