Take that, UAW
Oh, I am sure that Chrysler’s business model is going to make its stock just soar!!!!
New production in Mexico. Are those jobs part of the millions of jobs The Joker promised to save or create?
When will people wake up to the fact that the president can’t create jobs except for bureaucrat jobs for probing into the lives of decent people?
Sell them here, make them here. It’s what’s for dinner.
Yeah, but what a mealy-mouthed, generic looking car it is.
Bwaaaaaaahaaaaaaahaaaaaaa!!! bb
FIAT bought a dealership network at a fire sale.
The headline for this thread is spelled just about right! Crysler instead of Chrysler because there shall be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth! Just like Nash and Romney’s daddy’s American Moters rambled right off the scene in the 1960’s!!! (and alla Henry J. Kaiser/Frasers in the 1950’s)(my favorite was Willy’s which is now buried with Crysler/Fiat)
Fix It Again Tony.
The UAW owns, what, 17% of Chrysler? So they're screwing themselves to pay themselves?
The Community organizer will have us looking like Mexico by the end of his term.
If you were a manufacturer who could build in one jurisdiction or an adjacent jurisdiction, and the first jurisdiction was considering a number of variants of health care reform that would increase the cost of labor significantly, why wouldn’t you elect to build in the adjacent jurisdiction - embed the labor in the finished car or major sub-assemblies, then import?
Doesn’t anyone consider that the recovery will be delayed by jobs NOT being created the US out of fear that once the health care reform regime is decided on - it will make labor considerably more expensive? The choice is the substitution of capital for labor - either you apply more automation and less labor or you move the labor consumption offshore.
Ha ha, pricing a Fiat near the price of a Mini Cooper. Good luck with that. The last experience Americans had with Fiat was trying to get their cars home from the dealership before they fell apart and/or rusted away. It may not be true now, but it takes a long time to build a reputation, or fix one. BTW, I’m glad to see that this will be putting more Americans to work - North Americans. What a disappointment.
It will sell - in San Francisco, and maybe Miami.
They can skip having dealerships in Nebraska, Alabama or Montana.
I shoulda ping you guys to that reply. You’re both old enough to remember the Willy’s without gittin the willies!!!
Will it come loaded with drugs?
Keywords..."had" and "once"
