Fiat SpA Chief Executive Officer Sergio Marchionne, who was re-elected today to head Europe’s main carmaking lobby group, is taking his rivalry with Volkswagen AG in their home region overseas.

Marchionne, who also runs Chrysler Group LLC, is offering $1,000 rebates to current VW owners in the U.S., where VW is much smaller, to buy a Fiat or Chrysler vehicle.
