This is oxymoron: the reason UAW is in business is to protect interests of its membership. The reason for company to have doors open to protect value of owners. If UAW is an owner and employee they will have to control inner workings of this enterprise. So far they have great record of driving 2 major companies into the ground and receiving largest stake in the company for it. I used to believe that workers paradise in the form of USSR and satellites failed to deliver what one pool of workers produced to satisfy another pool of workers (consumers). Can someone explain to me why this workers paradise will survive when one in Eastern Europe perished?

Looks like Fiats widest car is skinier than a 3 series so most likely the midsize platform would come from Chrysler, perhaps with Fiat bits.

I should add affordable RWD vehicles

No doubt any Chrysler car/CUV smaller than midsize will be Fiat based soon.

My question is will the 200 midsized be based on a Chrysler or Fiat platform. Gee, now I have to learn about Fiats platforms over seas!!! What is the biggest car they build? Guess it will also depend if they want it to be RWD or FWD. My guess is that it has to be FWD and let the 300 platform stay as RWD since there will be no other domestic vehicles that are RWD except for Cadillacs and very few imports?

I totally agree with BuyUSA and Impulsive, the Challenger is a great car. and its definitely one of the best current Chrysler products.

Veda- Maybe an Italian styled Dodge Circuit EV?

JohnnyC,

I say it’s more of a Rugby game since it’s bloody and no one is wearing protection.

‘BuyUSA’, I totally agree.

Who was it in the other thread that thought these clowns WOULD have majority control? I told you to do your homework … there’s a test tomorrow.

An Italian styled Challenger would be better… appeal to more people.

^^^^^That picture of the Challenger above is one reason why Chrysler MUST stay alive.

I think I’m going to have to start watching cricket. Even it has to be easier to understand than all this.
