Ram moving back across the border?

. . . . Copied and pasted form Michigan Business article 01/08/17 for 2016 vehicle sales:

"Success of Ford and GM contrasted with FCA US sales data for December, which showed a 10-percent year-over-year decline to 192,519 units. Chrysler brands were down 32 percent, while FIAT brands were down 54 percent." . . . . .

Agree, as a whole FCA (Chrysler and Fiat) is not doing well in the US. However, the Ram and Jeep brands are doing well. Ram, as of 2009, became a quasi-independent entity which bodes well for its ability to make some strategic decisions apart from other FCA product divisions. Ram increased its market share 5 percent from 2010 to 2015 (with similar gains so far in 2016). In 2010 Ram produced 200,000 trucks, in 2015, 451,000. Their plants are running at capacity. Ram is undoubtedly FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne's sacred cash cow. Let's hope Marchionne doesn't mess with a good thing.
