Fiat + Chrysler?

January 19, 2009

Fiat logoJust read on Automotive News…

"Fiat Group is in negotiations with Chrysler LLC to form a strategic partnership that could include a Fiat equity stake in the ailing U.S. carmaker.

Chrysler brands"Fiat would give Chrysler access to its mini-, small-, lower-medium and upper-medium platforms, engines and transmissions. This would allow Chrysler to quickly build a complete new range of front-wheel-drive, low-emission vehicles."

It’s all speculation for now as neither company has commented on this news.
