Why fix it? the whole point of a Cooperation is to make money. are they making money? seems like it so what's there to fix? i want to "Fix" companies like EA but they are making money so their actions won't change and no one is really going to change a money-making entity. until FCA starts bleeding money everything about FCA will remain the same.

The only reason they're making money is because they're being propped up by Jeep. Any recent indications of their stock price going up are simply riding the current economic boom. The second the economy starts shaking they're going to be right back where Chrysler was in 2008.

split Chrysler from Fiat and you'd probably fix a lot of problems right then and there.

After that, I couldn't say.

head of fiat has expressed interest in splitting off Jeep as it's own automaker instead of just being a sub-brand of Chrysler.

Which presents certain possibilities. or could be a terrible idea.

Jeep Sahara has that fiat style back.

China wants the dealership locations. Since Jeep is basically at most dealership locations, buying Jeep and discarding the rest is the way to go. China wants to discard the rest because if it buys the whole corporation, it has to take responsibility for the pension and benefit plan payments. China has always been bad about compensation plans in the past and since Jeep would be a usa company, China cannot cheat the retirees like they do in chinese courts.

FIAT makes money with Dodge, Jeep, and Ram. But what type of money do they make with Chrysler branded vehicles? They have the 300 and Pacifica under the Chrysler name, that's it. The 200 was discontinued. I want to say the only reason FIAT keeps Chrysler around is because of brand name recognition but they only sell two cars and I can't imagine the Pacifica being a hot selling item in crossover frenzy world right now. What is stopping FIAT from just dropping Chrysler and using that money to further invest into Dodge or Jeep?

The problem is that Chrysler got hollowed out years ago and is reaping the problems of a more competitive market as well as the population becoming more willing to buy foreign cars that have improved a lot such as Kia and Hyundai.

If the Chinese are forced to buy all of chrysler with the employee pensions and benefit payouts, I suspect that the chinese will progressively sell off the assets to chinese companies (owned or controlled by the original buyers of chrysler) and then lease back those assets such as assembly line equipment, the plant space, and real estate and storage lots. Then the chinese will have chyrsler go bankrupt in order to shed the pension, medical, and benefits and 401K obligations of the retirees. The only real buyer for the remaining fragmented partial assets would be the chinese. They've done it before and they'll do it again.

I mean, we could try a bit of socialism. imagine that back in the earlier days when there were a lot more US auto companies before a lot of them faded or were bought up by GM. imagine if GM weren't allowed to buy all these brands to prevent them from having a large monopoly over US auto factories ensuring that even smaller Manufacturers have to exist forcing bigger ones to try harder rather than just buy them out and potentially ruin them with poor management of the whole company.

Now imagine that any auto firm actually doing cool or innovative stuff would be Subsidised in certain ways to ensure their product has a chance to get market attention.

Minivans are actually one of the more profitable types of vehicles as well, right up with pickup trucks

The 300 moves about 55-55,000 units a year.

The Pacifica minivan has sold 75,000 YTD, the old Town & country was moving over 100,000 a year, hitting over 150K on some years

These are what I consider to be affordable new sports cars in the NA market. I could list more like the AMG's and M series, but those are getting up there in price. A new muscle car would definitely face some steep competition. However, if they went ahead and did what Dodge did by bringing back the Challenger, it could work. The car would have to have some history to it, for example like a plymouth duster. A fresh new muscle car would be hard to sell in this current market.

FCA can't just split because much of the value is in the dealership and distribution chain while the liabilities are in the corporation itself. If it were so easy to split, all of the unscrupulous corporations would have repeatedly done so year after year in order to shed debt responsibility.

Doesn't work. Clinton fell for the bribes and signed China in a trade partnership with the Most Favored Nation status. Even if you tried to have chinese goods inspected, you would fail because part of that agreement negotiated by the clever chinese is that there is a max limit on the number of chinese goods that can be inspected. For a copyright and patent thief like China, not having goods inspected is a huge concession that supports criminal activity especially if they game the system.

Part of the problem is that the marketplace is saturated by all the different car makers out there. The slice of pie that FCA has is thus much smaller than what FCA was accustomed to having in the 1980's and 1990's. That history is important because the large workforce back then has retired by now and is drawing upon their employee retirement benefits packages. They are also drawing on their employee retirement pensions. All of that is basically vampire debt to FCA that drags it down. Until all those people die off, and they won't for decades yet, FCA will be dragged down into the gutter especially if the fully vested retirement employees continue their medical coverage plans.

As much as I would like to see the actual Charger come back, I don't think FCA would do it because the Charger has decent sales. They sold almost 100k in 2016. Not to mention if a consumer was shopping the market for a sporty sedan, your options are pretty limited. I think this is why they chose to bring back the Charger as it is now. The LX model was very popular, they sold over 120k back in 2007. I actually like the LX model.

What is Seat
What is Skoda

VAG may bastardize Alfa Romeo, but they would maintain its identity and make it more appealing to others. Look at what VAG did to Bentley, Ducati, Lambo, and Bugatti. They are thriving. The reason of VAG wanting to buy Alfa Romeo and Ferrari is that VAG appears to be one, who can make them profitable due to their experience in handling these high profile brands.

>Separate Dodge and Ram, and make Ram produce things like the 1500, Magnum and Journey
>Dodge focuses on econobox and sport sedans, with sport car design being relegated to SRT to be sold under the Dodge or Plymouth name
>Redesigns Charger and Challenger chassis to be much lighter. Challenger remains a drag-focused car while Charger becomes a sport sedan CTS-V or M3-style at Hellcat trim.
>Base V6 from Challenger is given TT, and is used in Alfa's sport coupes as a competitive engine
>SRT creates a Viper successor, this time with active aero and a paddle shift option to make sure it's economically viable, although permanent 7-speed manual is available
>Plymouth produces Roadrunner and Satellite based on Charger and Challenger
>Alfa Romeo focuses on Roadsters and two-seater coupes, but takes basic charger and Challenger frames and local designs to make luxury sport sedans focused on the European market

Don't know enough about Fiat to make judgements

>Confiscate the vehicle of anyone who puts the angry headlight masks on
>SRT tuned models from Alfa and Fiat can be sold under the Abarth name
>Chrysler could maybe focus on electric vehicle development alongside the 200 and 300, just to make sure the group doesn't fall behind with e-tech

Sell it to the Chinese. They can make better cars than Fiat and Dodge.

>Sell it to the Chinese.
Okay. They buy the dealerships, distribution chain, the intellectual property, and several factories out of many. You can keep the other decrepit factories, the leased factories, the pension plan liability, the medical benefits liabilities, the misc retirement liabiliities, and the long term debt. The chinese don't buy those.

>pray google, apple, amazon or uber buys FCA
Those companies have investors to satisfy and business models to continue. FCA doesn't fit as it has huge future liabilities. And even though Google and Apple want to enter the auto-driving car market, there is no need to buy FCA when it can simply wait for FCA to go bankrupt and then buy pieces. Buying all of FCA means being responsible for the long term debts such as pensions and benefit plans as well as leveraged debts which FCA is still paying off due to leveraging the future to pay the present (aka spending the future's proposed earnings to pay the present's costs). Those leverages have to be either paid off (with no benefit) or nefariously dropped. Google can't do that due to its "Do No Evil" mantra. Amazon can't do that due to its often stated goals of compensation. Only Apple can do that as it has never said it wants to be a good citizen. Uber has always been a bad citizen but it has no need for FCA since it will make deals to adapt future cars for autodrive.

That would hasten the death of chrysler.
It is stupid for a company to only sell the best or most profitable part of itself and not require sale of the entire company.

Then before you and your SO have sex in that chinese-made car, you should read the chinese manual:
