Regarding media speculation that there would be discussion of ending the Chrysler brand, Marchionne dismissed it as “talking nonsense.”

“This presentation’s focus is on global brands,” Marchionne said, as reported by the Detroit Free Press. “I think Chrysler is going to continue to be relevant in the U.S. Don’t expect it to be a global brand.”
