You know that you have quality control problems when Fiat standards are higher.

I’ve always been fascinated by how quickly the second-generation Dodge Intrepid appeared on the roads followed by how rapidly the cars disappeared. Funny stuff happened during the Daimler-Chrysler era . . .

Always liked their wimen, real purdy they were.

Never did like their cars though. Their wiring color codes rarely matched the diagrams so we figured they just used whatever color they had hanging on the wall. Real PITA, even their high end stuff.

Fiat of today is nothing like the problem riddled product of the 60s and 70s. Drove a friends 500 and test drove an Abarth 500, good quality, fun little cars. The Abarth goes like stink.

Yup, and GM pissed on the standards of the former SAAB auto.
