Auto Industry: Fiat as the Engine for Change

Edward,
I must confess that you had me worried for a moment or so at the beginning of this article - but, I believe that your conclusions are spot on (as if anyone can truly discern where this will end up).
Where the actual "rubber meets the road" properties of these various companies will be in a couple of years is a major concern as well - Opel has over the years, enjoyed a strong reputation for quality; whereas, Fiat has not. I can't speak to the other "marques" noted above on these points but, as a supposed major player in this exercise Fiat may be sorely wanting in this specific area and one wonders how the Obama "Auto Task Force" evaluated this particular issue, if at all.

What Could Fiat Be Thinking?
