http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2011/12/time-magazine-cover-250.jpg (http://curiouscapitalist.blogs.time.com/2011/12/08/how-america-started-selling-cars-again/)Time magazine (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/time/) has given the American auto industry the honor of a cover story in the newest issue slated to hit newsstands on December 9. More specifically, the publication has taken a closer look at how Chrysler (http://www.autoblog.com/chrysler) managed to go from Dead On Arrival to enjoying sales that are up 23 percent compared to the third quarter of 2010.

The company is expected to see sales of $55 billion in 2011. Talk about a turnaround. The piece focuses specifically on Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/sergio marchionne), his role in pulling the automaker from the gutter, and just how crucial the company's government bailout was to retaining 40,000 jobs.

Time also takes a closer look at what its like to work with Marchionne by taking the time to speak with Laura Soave (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/laura soave). Until recently (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/11/21/laura-soave-out-at-fiat/), Soave was the head of Fiat (http://www.autoblog.com/fiat) in North America. Needless to say, the full text should make for an interesting read. You can read a quick blog post (http://curiouscapitalist.blogs.time.com/2011/12/08/how-america-started-selling-cars-again/) on the article at the Time website or wait for the hard copy to come out tomorrow.U.S. auto industry makes the cover of Time (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/12/08/u-s-auto-industry-makes-the-cover-of-time/) originally appeared on Autoblog (http://www.autoblog.com) on Thu, 08 Dec 2011 11:32:00 EST.
