Default World's worst car manufacturing operation born

Quote:
This morning, Wednesday, October 30, Fiat Chrysler (FCA) and Peugeot Citroen (PSA) announced they were in talks about a possible merger that would create the fourth-largest automaker by volume in the world. Several hours later the story was updated on the Wall Street Journal website with a report that the two sides had come to terms, pending ratification by both corporate boards.

Well, I guess you can't polish a turd you can certainly roll it in glitter

When you thought things couldn't get worse, Fiat, Chrysler, Peugeot and Citroen merge to create this almighty unflushable turd covered in sprinkles

Just you wait Franco, it will die once more, then it will be revived with free QE money, then it will merge with something like Renault Nissan, then die again, then be revived with more free QE money, then merge with GM................

Before you know it'll all be some orgy of FCA, PSA and VAG and we'll all get bent over at the parts counter and workshop.

Hopefully Ford and GM hold out, the rest can GAGF
