(Except that Ferrari is owned by, er, the owners of that black-and-white team from Turin).

QUOTE (Rossoneri7 @ Apr 6 2009, 01:58 PM)  Who acquired Chrysler just a week ago (FIAT) (IMG: style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I won't ever forget the sceam FIAT made to aquire Alfa Romeo and Lancia. That's a thing you never foget. If Berlusconi where PM at that time, such a business action never would have happened.

Do not forget he's the one that saved Juventus from relegation in the early 80's scandal when he threatened to fire thousands of people...

But - Alfa Romeo and Lancia were owned by the italian state - gouvernment. Only a Fiat management sceam made the gouvernment agree to a much less-profitable agreement with Fiat, instead of GM or a third solution. This is one of the biggest not-discussed scandals in Italian business history.

I actually like FIAT. I was in two minds about them, but ever since the new CEO came in, I really like the company. I kinda find it weird to hate them coz of Juve. I especially love the Abarth tuned versions.
I'd love to own a Fiat 500. But in India, with tax, it comes to twice the actual value since the 500 is completely imported, and not manufactured here.

This is one of the biggest not-discussed scandals in Italian business history. Alfa Romeo did not want to be taken over by GM, they were just looking for the best possible deal. I sure am glad it did not happen anyway.

Alfa Romeo wans't in the position to want anything, their fate was tied to the gouvernments decisions, and they decided not to consider the better GM deal.
