Sergio speaks: Chrysler's future will be better New Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne hasn’t been talking much since the company emerged from bankruptcy on June 2. While rival General Motors has come out with an aggressive advertising campaign that attempts to get skeptics to look at its new cars, Chrysler has stayed under wraps. But Marchionne did take the microphone after sales came out on Oct. 1 and showed that he has a realistic view of Chrysler’s place in the world. Marchionne spoke on a web video after sales results came out on Oct. 1. He had to pump up the troops a bit, since the numbers were pretty bad. Chrysler’s volume for the month fell 44% (only GM had a steeper decline) and market share fell to 8.3% for the month. That’s below the 9.2% share that Chrysler has been holding throughout the year and well off last year’s 11%. Chrysler figured it could hold 10% in its turnaround plan submitted to the government. The Italian CEO had a reasonable explanation. He said that the cash for clunkers program started not long after Chrysler emerged from bankruptcy, during which time the company had shuttered plants. When the clunker program started Chrysler already had thin inventory. Of course, Chrysler also had its own incentive programs on top of the clunker cash which blew through inventory of its passenger cars early in the clunker program. But add it all up and Chrysler is being hit harder by the clunker hangover than others, he said. “We just came off cash for clunkers,” Marchionne said. “Most of our plants had been out of spring and substantial part of summer. The heavy incentive checks that one could find in most years are no longer available. Your starting point was exaggerated.” rss.businessweek.com |
