I haven’t seen any missteps from Fiat and have been pleasantly surprised. The Dart sounded crazy when announced, being based upon Alfa mechanicals and architecture, but it was very well realized. I’m still in wait and see mode, but I’d actually consider several of their vehicles now, and never would have prior.
Most of the reviews of the Dart I’ve seen have been tepid to negative, but the larger cars and trucks are pretty stout.
Which makes sense because that is their historical strength.
In Motown, an engineering assignment on small cars is sort of like being relegated to the junior varsity.
