China Looking to Buy Fiat Chrysler

We all know that Fiat bought our beloved Mopar ancestral company.  Today, word has come down that the Chinese are in talks to buy it from Fiat.

What is your source for that info?   I tried to look it up there were articles ranging from 2014 to 2106, but I couldn't find anything recently about it.

They announced it on the Fox Business Channel this morning.

Thanks Tman ... that's pretty much the story they were telling on the Business channel this morning.

Thanks.  Looks like some of the old articles are holding up like the one that said by 2018 China would own FCA.

I heard Jeeps were going to be built in China awhile ago. I also heard GM is going to build Buick's for export to the US.

Just great, hope it doesn't happen.

If it does, say goodbye to our recent bout of muscle car builds.

That's what I was thinking too.  No more Hellcats.  No more Demons.

True.  What they really want is the technology and car building skills.
