The merger may have helped the companies technologically but from my naive perspective it seems like what each of the companies need more than anything is a stronger QA department. From what I hear about Renault they are a little shoddy and I know from personal experience the level of quality from Jeep/dodge/ram/Chrysler.

Also, typically most companies only want to buy Jeep when looking at FCA because it’s the real money maker from what I hear. I wonder if a merger would ultimately lead to companies like Chrysler being shuttered due to redundancy. That’d be a big loss of jobs.

And on another side note it’s intriguing to think about a company that would have spanned four countries and how so many different personalities and cultures would have been able to work together.
