Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne said on the sidelines of an industry event in Brussels that the company is looking for a partner to help share production and development costs.

"We're on the move. We can be an active partner everywhere around the world," said Marchionne.

When asked about possibly partnering up with a European automaker, Marchionne said he’s looking them, but there isn’t a lot of options open. When asked if they would be interested in a partnership with Mazda or Suzuki, Marchionne said,

"there are many opportunities to look at, including those."

Boy, this seems to be the Boy on the dance floor that kisses and tells and cannot seem to settle down with a partner let alone realy figure out how to have their own house in order.

Does not bode well as it makes me wonder what is in their closet of uglies to show it's head in the next year or two.
