The news that many in the auto industry have been fearing since this past weekend was announced this morning – 66-year old Sergio Marchionne died overnight due to complications from a recent surgery.

Let me start off at bat: Don Marchionne is a great man. Period. I didn’t agree with him with his paltry 5 year electrification plan for FCA Group, but with his expedited departure, we can now look back with definitive successes and failures. This is how the Era of Sergio Marchionne came to an end, and the Era of Jeep begins as the dominant force in the car industry, perhaps to equal that of Goliath General Motors, now that Jeep takes the world stage.

In a stunning turn of events, Fiat Chrysler has announced that Sergio Marchionne is too ill to return to Fiat Chrysler and that Michael Manley will take over as CEO.

We have been closely watching for clues that Fiat will follow Mazda's Miata example and bump up the power of the 124 Spider. Here's why we are losing hope.

It looks like Fiat is finally going to build some electric cars after all. For those of you who have been watching the auto industry, it was clear that Fiat (and Chrysler) had been trailing all of the other major automakers in having any plan for electrification of their cars. There was no hint of any interest in building competitive EVs, and in fact their CEO Sergio Marchionne suggested that buyers skip buying their Fiat 500e, because they were losing $10,000 on each one sold.

Sergio Marchionne, CEO of FCA Chrysler laid out a 5 Year Plan to investors in Italy last month that will be his swan song before leaving in April 2019. Investors were eager to know what his plans were to electrify the entire portfolio. He gave few details other than throwing money and some numbers. But this week he leaves it to his minions at Maserati and Alfa Romeo to hash the details as to how the Ítalo-American auto company will become electrified.

Fiat has teamed up with Garage Italia and Pinninfarina to celebrate Fiat's 60th anniversary with this convertible Fiat 500 called Spiaggina. Now someone has to convert one into an E, making Fiat 500e more appealing to electric car buyers.
