Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
Turbo Diesel Register Issue 93 was mailed from the printer in early August. One of the articles is a collection of quotes from Automotive News, Automobile, and www.autoextremist.com, titled “The Saga of Sergio – Part IV.” It follows the story of the FCA’s financial struggles. See “Blowin in the Wind,” pages 32 – 39. If you haven’t read it, you will want to.
In the meantime, did you know that Jaguar is owned by Tata Motors, India’s second largest vehicle manufacturer?
Did you know that Land Rover is also a part of Tata Motors?
How about Volvo? They are owned by Zhejian Geely Holding Group of China.
So should we be surprised that according to Peter DeLorenzo in his July 19, 2016 column posted at autoextremist.com, the Guangzhou Automotive Group (GAC) seems to be the most ardent suitor of FCA at this juncture? Here is a link to DeLorenzo’s July 19, 2016 editorial about FCA and Sergio Marchionne. Beware, it is toxic.

Long term, look at Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo. Ask yourself if the parent company really matters when you have an excellent product like the Ram/Cummins Turbo Diesel truck? I think not.
Ram survived the Daimler/Chrysler merger as well as the Cerberus Capital Management ownership days. It will survive the next owner.
