...Finally, the alliance could bolster Chrysler's presence in the highly competitive midsize market. Fiat has an excellent midsize chassis/platform, which serves as the basis for the Alfa Romeo 159. "Chrysler could certainly use that," says Hall, since the struggling American automaker doesn't have the money to develop its own. Hall adds that the Chrysler-Fiat alliance is very likely to expedite Fiat's own plans to reintroduce the Alfa Romeo brand into the U.S. market. Fiat has been eager to bring Alfa Romeo, which now has nine models selling in more than three dozen countries...

What the Iranian President thinks will emerge in its place is far less obvious. The SCO, in particular, has been perceived since its founding in 2001 as a growing foil to U.S. interests in West Asia. Originally formed to develop dialogue on trade and security issues among nations with old histories of enmity, the SCO comprises China, Russia and four Central Asian states hovering within both Beijing and Moscow's spheres of influence - Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. Tehran under Ahmadinejad had long petitioned to be part of this group but has settled for "observer" status alongside India and Pakistan...
