Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Ferrari K-car

[Michael James (cavallino_rapante]

I read this as very-positive.  The Italians make great SMALL cars, and are 
willing to help a US company build some, which is what the Chinese market for 
US cars have been screaming-for for years (Chinese gas 'might' be 
state-subsidized, but it ain't cheap there, either).  Fiat gets access to US 
models, as well as a large foothold into the US market for the re-introduction 
of Alfa Romeo - now Fiat has a US Logistics pipeline already in-place, a dealer 
network for sales and service....etc.  Everybody wins.
 
BTW, last time I read, Fiat wasn't a cash-buyer of Chrysler, so who says 
Chrysler is now a 'component' of Fiat???  The relationship was more 'partner' 
than 'owner/ownee'.....

A friend once told me that it doesn't matter where the car is assembled.
What matters is where the money goes.

You know it's funny, here in Canada, most refer to GMs, Fords or Chryslers
as "domestic".  As far a I know, Canada doesn't have a domestic
car, or
hasn't for a very long time; we just bolt a number of different models
together for other countries.

Here, a Honda is just as domestic as a Ford, although many here would argue
with me.
