Message: [QUOTE="cusestudent, post: 179695, member: 1225"] Yes, they are owned by the same guys that own Fiat, but it is a 51% stake. The company is almost entirely separate from the Italian owners with the former manager of Fiat in complete control. Chrysler will be developing some new compact European style cars that get great city gas mileage, and Fiat will be making some American style sedans; that is about the extent of Fiat involvement. The guy running Chrysler right is an absolute genius that is probably one of the best businessman in the world. I think he genuinely is very sincere about the marketing strategy and trying to identify with the American people. We need more CEOs like Sergio Marchionne. [/QUOTE]
