Sergio Marchionne's Dream Is About To Be Realized As FCA And PSA Are About To Become Stellantis

Will be interesting to see how this works out....much to be done if it is to sustain, though not crazy about name choice.

You need scale and platform sharing common components that are unseen to be profitable in today's global market. I still hope they cut some brands. But as everything moves to a skateboard chassis who knows. The cost of a new "top" may not be much if it is just a derivative of another model.

"Stellantis" ??? It sounds like either a mental health drug or else a male ED drug.

Stellantis does not sound like the name for a car company

Opels could be sold as Chryslers.
Peugeots that are mechanically identical could be Dodges.
Kill: Fiat, Lancia, Alfa-Romeo, DS
Fold Ram back into Dodge.

Alfa brand is too valuable, it’s problem has been that it’s being run out of Auburn Hills. Should spin off the Italian brands into a separate company 50% Stellantis, 50% Ferrari run under management.
