Is there a worse possible merger?

Is there a worse possible merger?

British Leyland-Fiat
Owned by VAG

When Ford and Mazda were in bed together

>Be Marchionne
>Run around buying a bunch of dying car brands
>Don't fix any of the reasons they're dying
>Start lifting your skirt to attract Chinese investors

Which benefited Mazda greatly or else they wouldn't have had the money to make cars like the 787meme or have much of any racing program outside Japan?

Renault Nissan Mitsubishi Alliance

Is there r34 of this?

>787meme
The car that only won races because everyone else's engines blew up early on? Motorsports would have been better off without doritos.

It was necessary to keep Mazda around user, it allowed them to get everything sorted out enough so they could split again and be where they are today.
>also this pls

...

delet this

nice delusion

Aye but probably for a different reason to you. Nissan, stay away from Mitsubishi's diesels, if you fuck them like your own then I won't have a ute to buy next.

VAG would kill Fiat and Chrysler without hesitation. They are after Ferrari, Alfa, Maserati, and Jeep (it would be nice to have, but unnecessary).

Yeah.

How did Fiat find q brand to take their reliability down?

Jeep was the American powerhouse marque in the 90's.

It's still a popular brand, the head of Great Wall said they'd be first in line to buy Jeep if Fiat ever sold it.

The chinks have been producing Jeep products under license for decades.
They really liked the CJ7.

>chinks
>producing under license
No license necessary.

>implying it isn't FCA that'll eventually buy out VAG
lol

To be fine, Haval got their SUVs sorted out but their engines are lacking the 'omph' like in the Ranger

It would be interesting, but I highly doubt it. Look at the sales of FCA. Piss-poor.

combine it with Nissan PSA for best results

>all that shit tier FWD trash
I don't understand how those shit tier car brands are still a thing

>be marchionne
>make your newly acquired company develop a new car on a proven platform with your company's most reliable engine
>manage to slap together a great car from random leftover parts from Daimler plus new tech from Fiat
>make it look way faster than it is
>give it the name of classic American compact
>market it to young people
>race it in GRC
>halfass an FnF tie-in
>sell it for 23k+ so no one in the age group it was designed for can afford it and the ones that do buy better cars from manufacturers they trust
>try selling it to China
>give them AWD and a hatchback variant
>gas prices drop in America for three months so you end production of a world car you spent millions of dollars developing because you can make more money selling trucks and minivans
>refresh the car with less aggressive bodywork and only sell it in the Middle East after aping the name of another great American compact
>wonder why you are still losing money
>cry in italian

Do you actually think Fiat cares about the american market apart from Jeep?
I mean, they're literally built by beaners.

That's literally what happened. Gas prices dropped sharply here a couple years ago, Marchionne suddenly decided that Dodge was not to sell cars anymore and the Dart was killed off. Then gas prices started climbing back up to where they were before and now they have nothing smaller than a Grand Caravan. With the very generous fuel economy rating the Dart got, it probably only existed for CAFE fudging while the truck and van engines were developed to be more efficient.
There were plans to make it in Mexico, but I don't think it lived long enough for that to happen. AFAIK they were all built in Michigan.

It's kinda unfortunate, cause Fiat is finally gaining reputation in Europe as reliable and they have the fiats/abarths built by beaners.

now you're just being delusional

Don't forget they have Lada too

You are a dumbshit

at least the Fiat SOHC is dead

It also costed Ford a ton of money because Mazda was bleeding money,hence why Ford sold them

imagine being this retarded

>sour grapes

cool projection bro

mata-te

>more sour grapes

are you going to give us some sort of valid argument as to why fiat will buy vw or are you going to continue being retarded

>b-but the grapes are so sour

ok

wow, you have a M3? Congrats man.
Sure seems like it's not sour grapes at all ;D

...

>oh he so mad xddd

cool projection bro

>implying they got a full lap out of it before it broke down

Tony touched the right doohickey...

>oh he so sour grapes xddd
