Check out Fiat/Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne’s recent quote-tastic speech and Q&A session at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. The speech is almost identical to the one he gave at the Five-Year Plan, but the Q&A session is full of fun insights, ranging from Sergio’s fear of a Chinese planet and Opel regrets to the reasons for pricing discrepancies between Europe and the US.
Chrysler is still around?
Love how Sergio always wears a sweater, never Detroit-style straitjacket suit/tie combo.
“Again. Still.” Please, PLEASE stop using that phrase. It was okay once, now it’s just boring and contrived.
+1
A relic from the Farago Administration that should be retired. Pronto. Still.
Gotta say, listening to the Q&A session, the guy is pretty impressive. In fact, I think he can do a much better job as CEO of GM which I think has a shot at survival instead of CEO of Chrysler/Fiat which is a lost cause anyway..
The Challenger is CRASHING in sales. It is a BIG UGLY car . also
Chrysler will go bankrupt in a couple of years if that. Wow what a HUGE drop in sales. Is there really a nation wide BOYCOTT of chrysler? the numbers seem to point to a boycott.
November 2007 161,088
November 2008 85,260 (47% drop from 2007)
November 2009 63560 (25 % drop from 2008) 25% drop from a pathetic 2008 speaks volumes.

As well they did poor in Germany and France. Which you can google. But it’s obvious to anyone with a brain that Chrysler is finished and Fiat is a nothing company not known for quality and hasn’t invested 1 penny. (Fiat)Fix It Again Tony , What more can you say? Chrysler autoworker cheerleaders come talk your team leader brainwash stupidity. Chrysler is going down HARD!

Sheesh…take a chill pill already. I for one would like to see them suceed so we can get some of our money back. If you don’t like their products, don’t buy them…it’s really just that simple. I freely admit I own a Jeep Wrangler and it’s been a great vehicle – only thing that ever went wrong was a cracked door trim panel…big deal. My Sister’s Acura of the same vintage had more problems than my Jeep has ever had.
I have never seen someone so happy to see a company go down
I for one don’t want to piss my tax dollars away and certainly appreciate more compeition in the marketplace.
You’re pretty much a troll by now anyway so I don’t know why im wasting the bandwith.
Suddenly I have an urge to replace my old Jeep with a new Ram Powerwagon. I hope I can find one by months end!
There’s no nationwide boycott of Chrysler, nor of Kmart. There are enough high-school dropouts to fill those aisles!
Chrysler’s image cannot get any worse… which probably means Chapter 7. Will they take Fiat down with them? I can only hope, even though Fiat hasn’t actually invested any cash money in Chrysler.
@Dan
How old are you dude? I’m guessing 15? Probably not even old enough to buy a Chrysler…

Is it out of line to request this guy be banned? Seriously.
