Fiat Chrysler has been looking for a buyer and it looks like they may have found one.

Chinese company offers to buy Fiat Chrysler

There is zero chance of me buying either so this news will not affect me in any way shape or form. WHo knows though the CHinese might run it better then the idiots at Fiat.

Most all now have a couple thousand 'Chinese' parts in them anyhow.

Hell, 10 years after an Asian co. Buys them, all these red blodded patriots will be telling us how they; last forever, repair themselves, and actually produce more fuel than they use!

i remember when the chinese tried to buy the hummer, but ruled against it. how fiat ever got hold of chrysler is beyond me.

Will they call it a Lam?

Maybe then Chrysler will put out a quality product .🤣

Well the Chinese want to own it all. It is wrong.

Owned a 97 dodge pu.and will not own another.

just don't feel like putting up with failed engines again.

I don't see any wong in that

I have to say... and I'll be burned...but they couldn't do any worse.

No kidding- the Jeep Cherokee my daughter owned was a rolling POS, when it rolled. Mostly it sat needing repairs.

I'll likely buy another Ford. I'd like a Subaru Forrester, I have nothing against the Japanese but I don't trust that new fangled CVT transmission to go 250,000 miles.

Cars and trucks are major purchases, I want as much US content as I can afford. China, NFW.

They offer a manual. Problem solved.

Well, your Jeep, or Dodge and Ford truck are 80% sourced Mexican.

Would never buy another Dodge, had one that was enough! Sure as hell wouldn't buy a Chink truck!

their new CEO is named Sum Ting Wong. bad sign i think

Ya me too,I owned a 1967 chevy impala.

I would never buy a subaru forrester. I have been helping a good friend battle a dealer and Subaru as her 2015 burns 1 to 2 qts of oil every 1, 000 miles. Find out late rthere is a class action suit and a cover up by subaru. Have know other ones to have major problems too and Subaru just gives the run around.

I drive a Nissan Frontier. "Built with pride in Smyrna, Tennessee."

They are all mad with China parts anyway.....
Won't catch me in anything new......
Think what my currant old truck would look like if I spent half the price of a new one....

Wound up putting 2 in that truck.

Before that last one lost oil pressure i signed the title and told the wife to go trade it for the car of her choice.

I think they gave her 1000.00 for it and i didn't care.
I just wanted to get rid of that piece of crap.

Not even close .....According to the Kogod Auto Index....The 2017 F150 is 85.5% USA content.... Highest of all Pickups and Number #2 overall..........


2017 Ram 1500 is 72 percent USA Content.......

2017 Chevy Silverado 55 percent USA Made...

2017 Tundra 73.5 percent USA

2017 Jeeps wrangler 81.5 percent USA Made

2017 Grand Cherokee 74.5 percent USA made

I had an '81 F-150 that I bought new. It had the 3 speed + overdrive manual transmission. About 120,000 miles or so the input shaft bearing was getting bad and so I had the tranny rebuilt at my local Ford dealer. The mechanic showed me the worn bearings and they were marked " made in China" and there was a tag on the tranny stating that it was assembled in Mexico... this was from 1981 oh and the truck was made in the USA and still had foreign components way back then.

Saw many Great Wall pick-ups when we were living in Australia. No idea if they were WAF.

My "next" Jeep would likely be an old CJ8 - doubt that will come from China.
My "next" Dodge would likely to never exist.

Drove a Haval

I drove a Haval H1 (the SUV/Crossover line for Great Wall) for a year and a half. Cost all of $10,000 and realistically worth about that price. I don't think it would be much of a game changer here in the USA. The thing is, is that the slightly larger H2, with the 1.5l turbo/6sp is a LOT more vehicle, and currently running about $11,000 equipped nicely. That car could upset the market, as it delivers a lot more value, and with a lot more sophistication and refinement than the H1.

Durability wise, I really couldn't say, only driving the H1 about 30,000 kilometers without issues. Well, the Chinese market spec'd wipers were just absolute crap, with a life of about 3 hours without degradation. After that, they just broke down. But in general, the vehicle wasn't really up to snuff. Silly stuff, like the GPS had a Russian accent (we called her Nadya) and used data that was hopelessly out of date. If you used the GPS, then you didn't have a clock. You could not change the radio station if the GPS was in use. Back up, and the radio turned off while the picture was on the display. They forgot to install the bar for the hood, but that was remedied by the dealer n/p.

The thing is, is that s--t changes FAST in China. Rapid improvements all the time. In 5 years, I have little doubt that there will be a significant Chinese presence in the global car market. Heck, China already is the worlds largest car market by country...
