I bet he will stay up nights worrying about how Jeep is doing - right after he figures out how to count his 200+ million from Home Depot...

Nardelli to run Chrysler? If he runs it half as well as he ran Home Depot you can just kiss Jeep bye bye.

Maybe he'll suggest using crappy screws from HD to hold things together. Then watch them fall apart 10 minutes later.

This is a GOOD thing. I'm not a Nardelli fanboy by all means, but this guy just might be he right guy at the right time for C.

At HomeDepot where he was CEO for I think just less than 7 years, he doubled the size of the business. No doubt there were big problems with his compensation package and his leadership at the end, but there were/are also big problems in the home building market that are impacting HomeDepot's profitability as well.

After the $ scandal, I imagine he's pretty anxious to rebuild his reputation, so I can see him being pretty gung-ho and making a bunch of positive changes. If C can ride him back to a good position, then replace him with a more level headed long term strategy type CEO, there just might be hope.

But I, like you, worry about changes that hurt the Jeep line. Jeep is so trenched in history, and that is why it is a classic American icon, so hopefully it will have some protection from any wildness.

Just my $.02.
