GM's Lutz Makes Another U-Turn | online.wsj.com

Chrysler CEO Says New Board Coming With Fiat Deal | www.nytimes.com

The U.S. Government in cooperation with the Senior Management of Fiat is going to appoint a new board of directors for this new joint company. Fiat is for all practical purposes a two market auto manufacturer; the home country…Italy (62%), and South America (38%). Chrysler LLC is a one market manufacturer in North America (72%) (Recognizing Graz, Austria (28%) for Minivans & Jeep). Respectively in those markets both companies loose money.
