I remember reading earlier stories from the German media that suggested the U.S. government was trying to inflict harm on Volkswagen so our U.S. OEMs would benefit. I don't think the Germans understand how truly dysfunctional our Federal Government is. Hell, Obama gave Chrysler away to Fiat so they could move their corporate headquarters to London - hardly an example of strategic economic development.
Not only did the FCA corporate headquarters move to London, the new entity is registered in the Netherlands as a naamloze vennootschap basically the equivalent to a British plc or our LLC.

Certainly the NV in FCA NV is for some tax benefit...
