Sergio must be fed
He's eating up auto makers
Soon left for dead
He's breakfasted on Chrysler
Now he wants Opel for lunch
It's all you can eat
But these meals pack a punch
How much can Fiat afford
For this car-buying buffet
before their pockets are bare
And their creditors they betray
So Sergio may want
to push back from the table
before gorging himself so that
To walk away he is unable.

Fiat has money. They really turned themselves around the last several years and were making decent profits. If you're a car company looking to expand, now is the time to do it. The entire industry is depressed, so if you're willing to take the risk, there could be a huge up-side considering you are basically spending pennies on the dollar (or euro, in this case).
The big thing will be knowing when to stop.

You already have Fiat, Ferrari, Maserati, Iveco, Alfa Romeo and Lancia making up the Italian (Air) Team. They are getting Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep to make up the American (Sea) Team. Now they need someone to make up the Land Team. GM Europe, with Opel and Vauxhall, could provide the necessary components to defeat evil and protect humanity from the Drule Empire.

Italians make the best cars anyway, why not let them have the whole industry? Pickups and SUV's would lose all their trendiness if they were all Iveco Massif based, and everyone else wold be rolling in Pandas, 500's, and Alfa GTA sportwagons.
This is too much win-win-win to actually occur.
