Speaking to Fiat-owned publication La Stampa, Marchionne said that an alliance with GM’s German subsidiary Opel was his next goal.
"Now we have to concentrate on Opel. They are our perfect partner," he said.
Fiat has competition for Opel from Austrian-Canadian firm Magna International, and if the German brand leaves GM then it is possible Vauxhall could be sold with it.
