"I can't speak to what Sergio or others wake up and want to say," Fields told reporters ahead of next week's Beijing motor show.

After being rebuffed by General Motors last year, Marchionne said last week that Ford, Toyota Motor Corp and and Volkswagen AG are the only remaining merger candidates for FCA.

Marchionne has long called for mergers among large automakers to help diffuse development costs for advanced cars that pollute less.
