Yes, all these car companies have oddly interwoven histories now. Chrysler is, of course, American automobile royalty. Fiat bought it with Chrysler's own money.

Peugeot and Citroën are storied French brands that survived with state assistance. Opel and Vauxhaul used to be GM. I learned recently that Volvo is now Chinese (Geely), Land Rover, once British and later BMW, is now Indian (Tata), and French Bugatti is going to be a joint venture with Croatia (Rimac).
