LOL
I hope it doesn't happen. Mergers generally don't help the consumer.
Does this mean I can have a Passat with a HEMI in it?
I could see them MAYBE designing a vehicle together but, not a major company merger. Beside, the French hate the Germans and visa versa

My bad-confused.

Both brands are equally successful at producing vehicles that United States could care less about.

You are entitled to your own opinion. VW does have a following in the US, I can't say the same about Fiat. I hope this isn't true, and doubt it is as VW is currently the worlds largest auto maker.

That is correct.
When the VW lies came to revelation I was surprised that VW was a top car company. I guess it's like how Soccer is the top world sport.... things that have innuendos of Globalism, Socialist, Fascist, Marxist, and it's okay to beat a ball against your brain causing injury. Not to mention disorderly conduct of the fans that make the Super Bowl celebrations small potatoes!
..and there is Fiat.

Fact, look at US auto sales numbers....VW has never figured out how make an appealing product to US masses unfortunately, ever.
Every maker has a following....

VW was the largest selling import brand way back when. Everyone loved the Beetle and hundreds of thousands were sold her.
Nobody bought Japanese cars although they were cheaper.

Agreed they are a one trick pony. That being said I like the current GTI but too chicken to buy.

Sergio is running a car company that could disappear and hardly anybody would notice, but for fans of Jeep, the Hemi, and diesel Rams. Bringing Alfa Romeo back to the US will only get a few more sales to a small, small niche. Nobody wants to buy a Fiat branded car in the US. They have already thrown in the towel on small and medium passenger cars in the US by stopping production on the Dart and 200, which were good cars. The problem is, there is worldwide overcapacity in the auto industry, and the small players must team up or close down.
