What's worse than a Fiat made in Italy? A Fiat made in Yugoslavia. Or Detroit.
Maybe they can get Malcolm Bricklin as their new president and CEO?
Fiat probably entered into this deal knowing it's going to go down the toilet, and they will eventually receive US bailout money.
In this day and age, it wouldn't surprise me!!!
I'm sure Jeremy Clarkson is having a jolly ol lash at this deal.
"The 500 is a car you can use to get from A to B, as long as B isn’t too far away."
Please bring us the Fiat 500 with it's 1.2L of glory.
Hoping for future bailout $ is certainly a consideration. Fiat is used to this sort of thing. How many times has the Italian government saved them over the years? Just business as usual in Italy.
Wanting the Jeep name might have been a factor too. That's a salable brand worldwide.
