It'as always about the money i.e, money buys talented producers ,talent ,crews and editors and or talented supervisors that hold thier people accountable for results and quality
Good product ,management and oversight can all that can go by the wayside in an entrenched large bureaucracy and sometimes does especially if quarterly earnings reports are a major imperative and empty suits are on the top floors .
Case in point Generous Motors ( that's what we & they called themselves back in the day ) aka General Motors that Mary and some other very talented folks are straightening out decently since Government Motors even though Maximum Bob is retired from GM now ,same thing happened over at at Ford Motor and Mulally & some of thier folks got them fairly straight without much federal assistance at all its mostly on the right track now if you set Lincoln aside and maybe Fields doesn't blow it wasting money on the brand which Mulally rightfully wanted to shut down with Mercury
Lincoln will never be Cadillac or anthing close they are stuck on cheap sheet metal tooling ,more recently slab sided styling, badge engineering and AMC Mad Men bling interiors .
FCA we are not so sure they are abandoning some real decent albeit dated RWD platforms & Hemi V8's for some balkanized Afla & Fiat platforms and maybe power-trains nobody wants here or anywhere probably due to impending CAFE standards and no BEV or BHEV or decent /midsize /compact fuel efficient offsetting product at any scale and Marchonnie is looking for a cash rich daddy and or shopping the successful Jeep brand and Fiat is stillborn here.
