We would be without a lot of great automobiles were it not for his leadership.
Besides Giulia and its platform-sharing Stelvio SUV - all of the new and coming lineup at Alfa Romeo, actually - there's the Fiat 124 Spider, Dodge Hellcats and Demons, Maserati Levante, Jeep Track Hawk, F-488 and FXXK, along with countless successful upgrades to existing success stories like Wrangler and RAM. The man has performance cars in his blood.

There probably wouldn't even BE a Chrysler as we know it anymore, without his takeover and skilled leadership through its integration with FIAT.

That sucks big time. I am not much of a Dodge Chrysler fan but he sure has made them relevant again. Since their resurgence Chey and Ford had had to up their game as well as the European big two.

He's in his late 60'. He had planned to step down next year. But he had shoulder surgery not long ago. And had some serious complications. He's still in ICU. And not doing good.
