I do not know of pending business deals between VW and FIAT. I am simply stating an opinion that I cannot see FIAT selling Ferrari to VW. Italian business interests (FIAT), rescued Ferrari from a Ford buyout in the 1960s,
why would they sell now when it is much more successful?
You forgot to tell us what did Bugatti achieve on track. ;)Quote:

Ferrari was profitable a few years ago however they were not left untouched by the crisis.
I would love to see Ferrari get into proper management hands, people with a vertical back spine. Someone who can build on their strong heritage, instead of the bella figura they have now.
Anyway we can only speculate. :)
That's all true but it doesn't sell FIATs. It sells Ferraris. If FIAT can get enough cash they'll sell Ferrari, make no mistake. I have no desire to see it happen but business is business and FIAT are run by business men.Quote:

To make it worth while the acquisition of Ferrari would have to result in selling more VWs. If Ferrari don't sell FIATs then they'll sell even fewer VWs.
In short, it's not going to happen and heaven forbid if it does.
isn't going to happen. If Fiat are going to flog off any part of the wedding china it'll be Alfa Romeo.
P.S I own a Fiat and I don't feel I own part of a Ferrari or anything.....
Stop dreaming...neither Ferrari, nor Alfa Romeo will be owned by foreigners ever ! :hmph: :p :
Pino, an Alfa Romeo sale is very much on the cards. VW are officially on record saying they want Alfa too....
