We have heard it all before, Sergio the Idiot, Moron, Waste of CEO Money, political butt kissing enigma.

Rather than reinvest the profits into the american brands making them better, Chrysler is just about dead. Fiat should have never been brought here and Alfa, wasted effort of trying to resurrect the brand.

I honestly am surprised by how Dodge continues to roll on such dated product lines. Ram hopefully will pick up more with the 2019 models and Jeep is surviving on the cult following with some decent improvements on old platforms.

I really wish I understood the thinking at FCA headquarters on their stupid decisions for the brands.

What's killing the numbers compared to last year is all the discontinued vehicles.  Dart, 200, Patriot.  Well, those and the Journey which needs to be killed.

Who knows what Sergio is thinking?  He is a war time general, not a peace time general.  He needed to get out as soon as the war was over and the company was on the right track.  That was the time to let the peace time leader take over.
