Daniel Howes' Weekend Essay

Detroit News Columnist Daniel Howes and Michigan Radio are partners in weekly essays examining what's hot in Michigan business and politics -- and what it all means. This week, Howes says its undeniable that Fiat Chrysler Automobiles CEO Sergio Marchionne is trying to sell the bi-national automaker. The problem is that none of the would-be suitors – General Motors, Renault-Nissan or Volkswagen – are in a buying mood. And for good reason considering the past 20 years of tie-ups in the global auto industry.
