I would actually consider one, something I would never do for a "regular" Chrysler or Dodge.
Opinions are like (You know the answer) everyone has one. Also I could just as easily say Hyundai makes horrible vehicles but with no facts to back it up it is pointless even saying.
But he said it anyway. +1
I thought my comment was rather positive. In other words, maybe these new Fiat/Alfa offerings will attract some new buyers, even those who may not have considered (another) one otherwise. What's the issue?
BTW, I come from a "Chrysler family." I have owned a couple myself. Learned to drive on a '75 Dart with a 225 slant 6. All of us have defected (save my brother's widow, who wont part with the 300, my brother's last car.) 85K miles and on its third tranny. Quality stuff.
My point being, the Fiat 500 looks cool (especially the Abarth) and maybe under Fiat leadership, Chrysler is on the right path. A "Dart" based on an Alfa? Sounds interesting. The only other "interesting" offering in the lineup is the Challenger. I know...opinions....
funny, my dakota has 100k mi on it with 100% of the original parts (excluding wear and maint. items) had a cherokee that had 240k mi. before needing a clutch and really didn't need much during that time. my father in-law has an 01 ram that went 375k mi. before needing anything major and my bro in-law has a durango with 160k mi on it and has only needed a window regulator, even got t-boned last year and is still going strong, all depends on how you take care of them, p.s. chrysler teamed up with Hyundai to design the engine that is in many of both of their cars. so many chyslers have the same engine as many current Hyundai's.
