As far as Fred Diaz goes, he was in charge of the Ram division and had two poor launches, if you recall. Given that he had been in talks with Nissan when there was talk us us building their pickup's and them build small cars for us. I'm sure he likely had made some friends over there, he's a very likable man. Then given the fact that it was decided that the 1500 would use the VM and not the Cummins engine I'm sure he was not happy.

I find it funny that Nissan made him VP of Marketing not their truck division.

My bet is he was simply burned out and could not keep up with the 24/7 lifestyle that Sergio is used to, most COE's couldn't. Note this is not a slam on Diaz.

I've heard several different stories--the good, bad, and ugly. It's the typical gossip that emanates when there's intense political posturing in a corporate environment.

I like to keep it simple. Someone was "primarily" responsible for Ram's success of late. It was on Fred Diaz's watch when everything we see on Ram lots today were turned from ideas to design, then placed on the assembly line.
