Fiat Chrysler is doing well, says columnist Daniel Howes.

Stateside's conversation with Daniel Howes, columnist and associate business editor of the Detroit News.

It's a double dose of good news for Fiat Chrysler.First-quarter profits are coming in, and Fiat Chrysler net profits are up 34% over year-ago levels, including a strong showing in Europe.

 But news from Dearborn was not quite as rosy with Ford profits down 35% over the first quarter, although the company still says it's on track to make $9 billion in pre-tax profit. Detroit News business columnist Daniel Howes joined Stateside to break down what's happening right now in the auto industry. Daniel Howes is a columnist with TheDetroit News.
