Sportgamma Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Asked if Fiat Chief Executive Sergio Marchionne will stay on after 2015, Elkann said he would. "Marchionne has talked about 2015 as the date he would leave the group, because a lot of the things he is working on will be completed," Elkann said. "I have discussed this with him and am convinced that he will stay on with us for many more years." http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/05/30/exor-fiatindustrial-idUSL5N0EB1LJ20130530?type=companyNews&feedType=RSS&feedName=companyNews&rpc=43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muscleman Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Hi Guys, I am confused about the new Jeep Grand Cherokee's exterior. Google search shows that it looks like this: http://www.jeep.com/en/2014/grand_cherokee/?sid=1037056&KWNM=jeep+grand+cherokee&KWID=3618348157&TR=1&channel=paidsearch#model=summit&color=deep_cherry_red But a few months ago I remember people complaining it looks very ugly, and I remember it like this: http://features.blogs.fortune.cnn.com/2013/04/02/does-jeep-have-a-design-problem/ So what happened?

meiroy Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Fiat Said to Get $2.7 Billion Refinancing Before Chrysler Deal http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-06-17/fiat-said-to-get-2-7-billion-refinancing-before-chrysler-deal.html?cmpid=yhoo "Fiat SpA (F), Italy’s biggest manufacturer, will raise a 2 billion-euro ($2.7 billion) loan ahead of its planned merger with Chrysler Group LLC, according to two people with knowledge of the matter.... The debt, which includes two one-year extension options, replaces a 1.95 billion-euro credit facility due July next year and will be offered to a wider group of lenders later this month, the people said. The Italian automaker may raise as much as $10 billion from banks to increase its stake in Chrysler and to refinance both companies’ debt, people familiar with the matter said last month. The Turin-based company has built up a 58.5 percent stake in Chrysler, and is in talks to buy the remainder owned by the United Auto Workers’ retiree health-care trust, Chief Executive Officer Sergio Marchionne has said."
