The Fiat patent fraud. About the Fiat hybrids: the technology double clutch with electric motor between has been stolen by a patent that Fiat Company has never wanted to purchase, but only shamelessly to copy. This hybrid solution will be the basic technology with Chrysler's electric and hybrid car program. Please give a look in my blog where the "vitality" and boldness of the Fiat planners it appears in all of evidence: http://dualsymbioticelectromechanicalengine.blogspot.com/
If the industries can afford unpunished to copy the ideas and defending it need very expensive trial, to which target need the patents? How to defend the rights of private inventors? How our young people can find intellectual courage if the economic potentates crush the rights of the single ones? Whoever is about to ask for a patent or wants to propose a proper patent to a big firm I suggest to give a look to my experience with the Fiat, to get able to operate with better adroitness. Thanks and good time to everybody. Ulisse Di Bartolomei (Not spam! Please don't stop this comment)

Whatever is good for the workers is good for America. Unions are the salvation against the greedy evil corporations. Tell your reps to pass the Employee Free Choice Act to counter the well funded corporate bottom liners.

Chrysler has gone into Chapter 11 and has stated that it will close all plants "temporarily" for 2 months and shut down THOUSANDS of dealerships worldwide.

Unconfirmed reports have it that former head of Chrysler, Lee Iococa, who rescued Chrysler back in the 1980's, was seen sobbing and mumbling "What have those idiots done to MY company???" when he heard the news.

As it is, it is expected that THOUSANDS will lose their jobs thanks to "hedge fund" creditors who refused to "play ball" with the government and Chrysler. It is also expected that Chrysler will emerge from banklruptcy (the government hopes!) and be smaller, leaner, and more competitive in the market. Also, it is expected that many of the highly-paid, highly-perked, absolutely-GREEDY, and TOTALLY-STUPID corporate executives who brought Chrysler into Chapter 11, will have moved on to other positions, perhaps at GM or Ford!!!!!

HAIL OBAMA!!!!!

These are LOANS, sky. They are to be paid back to the government (i.e., the taxpayers) eventually.

i had a 1990 Toyota Corolla. In 1996 I bought a new Dodge Neon. It was the biggest piece of crap that I ever owned. Head gaskets failed; paint flaked off; brakes screamed even after replacing the linings; overheated; wires in the electrical system would burn up; you name it,,,it happened to it.. And not just my car, nearly everyone I knew that had one had similar problems. My wife wrecked the Corolla, but if she hadn't, it would still be running. I was lucky to get $1K out of the Neon. My point; If Japan can build a quality car, why can't America? Ford is getting there, slowly. GM and Chrysler build crap, so they get what they deserve. It's not the fault of the workers on the plant floor, it's the design and the quality of the car and it's supplier parts. Start building a Japan quality car, and you'll be ok. Use the same old processes, and this is going to happen again. I recently bought a KIA..and even it's amazing.

Even in Europe (where I live), Fiat is a joke to everyone except nationalistic Italians.

Why is Fiat taking over Chrysler? Is it yet another stupid merger in the automobile industry, which will be reversed in a few years similar to...

BMW bought British automaker Rover; BMW sold British automaker Rover.
Daimler-Benz bought Chrysler; Daimler-Benz sold Chrysler.
Ford bought Jaguar; Ford sold Jaguar.
GM acquired Saab; GM "loses" Saab.
Ford buys shares in Mazda; Ford sells shares in Mazda.

Who is orchestrating this insanity?
