Comments on: Chrysler Hands Keys To Fiat

Finalized Deal Gives Italian Automaker Bulk Of Good Assets, Clears Way For Chrysler To Emerge From Bankruptcy

[nolalou]

The one Chrysler that I did own, a Town & Country, was a big piece of junk. It should have been named CRYsler. If Fiat can reshape the company and produce a product that people actually want to buy then maybe the company will survive. I don't know that much about Fiat but I don't recall ever seeing a Fiat and thinking "I got to have one of these". We'll see what happens. Too bad the government has to get involved but then again what do you expect from a Commie wannabe like Obama.

I've had enough of you cry babies calling Obama a 'commie' for baling out the Auto makers. What choice did he have? Let them go belly up, putting 10s of thousands out of work? Not only those who work for Chrysler and GM, but suppliers, and other businesses frequented by employees of those companies, and even more foreclosures.
Nixon, Ford, and George W Bush all pushed for government bailouts of private businesses when they were in trouble.. were you out there calling them Commies too? I don't think so!

We have the best battleplane F-22, F-35,the best bomb carrier B-2,and many other best ones,but we have weak Auto-maker,as we know, before 2006 ,or even earlier ,samller cars,which is more fuel-efficient ,has always been spreading all over the world .but American Auto ,like Chrysler still move slowly,AT last during this economic crisis ,we fail ,we can not defeat Japan cars ----why then??

"The sale?s closing involves Chrysler transferring $2 billion - provided by the U.S. government - to its creditors."

So Chrysler is essentially just another branch of Obama Motors. Smooth move, President ObamaMarx!!!

"Who really believes that Fiat has technology that advanced?"

Fiat does have good small engine designs. They have a very advanced 1.8 liter that just came out. Fiat has been out of the U.S. market about 20 years, now they have a chance to get back in. They own Ferrari and Maserati so they know engines.

In fact, because of their poor aerodynamics and lack of stability, most of those big, bad SUVs and trucks have speed limiters and cannot exceed 110 mph. Most cars don't have that limitation.

You are correct I have not owned one. I was on the web site and I was wondering how will a 1.3 leiter auto get up to speed on I95 in south Florida. Just my thought

A 1.3 liter in a small car can do 100 mph all day long. Don't ask me how I know.

Ever driven one lately? Ever owned one? Not the Fiat of the 60's 70's or eighties.

Fix It Again Tim! of all the car companies, come on. why not ferrari or alfa romeo? anyway, i have a theory why obama chose fiat, and don't tell me he didn't. if he didn't like fiat, this deal would have never gone through. because they make the smallest cars, which is the norm in italy. when i was last in italy visiting family, that's just about all you saw because the streets there are so narrow, it's the only way to get around. actually i'm looking forward to see italians spicing up the boring cars chrysler has made in the past. i wish them well. could be a blessing.

How does it feel to everyone here theat America is owned by China and other countries...does that make you proud? American corporations and our own government have sold the American people out.
