Howes gives Marchionne high marks for doing what Daimler failed to do. He says Fiat took the best of what Chrysler had and melded it with the best parts of Fiat to create an integrated company. Both Chrysler and Fiat benefit in the process. There is a lot to be done especially with paying off government debt, building the fuel efficient vehicles essential to do well in a time of high gasoline prices, and operating in a highly uncertain economic environment. But the steps taken so far show Marchionne has put Chrysler on the right path. The new version of the Jeep Cherokee has done well- with a sales increase of 34% in first quarter 2011 over the prior year.

The new Chrysler that is emerging from bankruptcy with government help under Fiat's Marchionne.

Marchionne has kept many of the managers from the previous Chrysler. Jim Press is deputy CEO and adviser. He came from Toyota. Everything else will change. He is flattening the organization structure to improve communication and speed. Smaller car lineup will replace the prior lineup, and Fiat's engine technology will provide help for fuel efficient cars.
