I guess the interesting thing is that even in this terrible economic climate, Fiat still is producing profits. Not even Toyota can claim that.

Toyota could yet prove to be a case of growing too big, too fast. You look at cars like the Camry, RAV4 and Yaris and think there is a lot of makers not that far behind them. But Chrysler should have made a deal such as his about 5-10 years ago at least.

To stay profitable in spite of a 44% dive in revenues is something to be celerating! All manufacturers have been hit by falling sales but, as pointed out, are suffering much worse than Fiat. Factor in their focus on lower margin small cars and this is a great performance in the face of adversity. Chrysler will learn much.
