i can't believe chrysler is actually contemplating giving a V6 to Alfa, arguably one of the best V6 makers of all time

You forgot Alfa has been using GM V6 (which was Alfish only by the exhaust sound) for at least 5 years.
The last Alfa V6 in production was the 3.2 from the 147/156 GTA (250hp) and from the GT V6 (240hp).
Maybe (I hope) they'll only use the basic block, and develop their own parts for all the rest.

That deal seems a little bit one sided, with chrysler getting all the good stuff. How do they manage to exploit other companies like that (remember daimler and the e class)

Actually, Daimler got the best of Chrysler in that so called merger. FYI Daimler charged Chrysler for its use of the E-Class in the Chrysler LX model. Daimler actually charged per unit and kept the profit on their side of the books. I dare say they probably sold more chasis and transmission to Chrysler then Mercedes did in the entire run of that E-Class model. Don't be fooled Daimler got the better of that deal.
As for Fiat don't forget they will get access to sell Fiats in North America. And most likely they will recieve money for each Fiat under Chrysler.

That kinda sucks, Chrysler will never make some good profits this way.

How did Daimler benefit from the $20 odd billion in lost capital exactly? Chrysler was a disaster for them and the Mercedes brand is only now recovering from the mad expansion of the Schremp years, and the poorer quality that ensued.

Think positive. This could be good for both.
As a Chrysler dealer, I want everybody to benefit.
