| Chrysler's uncertain direction fuels industry speculation
Are the credit crunch, losses on other investments like a majority stake in General Motors Corp.'s GMAC finance unit and opposing demands of the U.S. car market -- get greener, but deliver more power -- forcing Cerberus to reappraise its patience? Is Nardelli, the GE-cum-Home Depot hotshot hired to revive Chrysler, warring with Jim Press, the heavyweight wooed from Toyota Motor Corp. to sharpen Chrysler's product portfolio and retool its moribund sales and marketing? "There's no open arguing. I think a diversity of opinion is healthy," Press told me on the floor of the North American International Auto Show, decrying what he called "spurious information that gets misguided and misdirected to our detriment." Maybe, maybe not. Going private doesn't help It wouldn't be a Detroit auto show if the rumor mill didn't grind for someone, didn't project personality clashes real and perceived, didn't conjure strategic tie-ups that make sense on paper, if not in the real world.
