Question

Such a shame Sergio marchione passing away,been reading a few articles before he passed saying how much harm he had done to the fiat brands,now everybody likes him now he has gone....

He brought for only a few years back to the uk lancias and gave us on here a chance to convert them with the badges,,,economics wouldn't gain any ground but he tried before pulling the plug....

Rumours Chinese buyers wanted the brand but Sergio wanted it to stay italian and put in back in the toy box with the lid on and ceased production of the whole range even though the ypsilon sold very well in Italy..

Now he has gone sadly the italian car industry is facing a tough very tough road ahead......

Yeah seemed very sudden after his shoulder operation!

 

The market shares plummeted twice, once on his replacement with Mike Manley (at least he's British) and then again when he died. So obviously the market is nervous too about the future of FCA. 

To be fair Marchionne did save Fiat from bankruptcy which in direct terms saved everything else being carved up and sold off! Can't say I like the decade of starvation for Alfa, or how Lancia has been left to die. But on the flipside Maserati is growing and at least Alfa have had the Giulia and Stelvio recently, although out of reach for the many unless you're a PCP buffoon!
