I looked at the window sticker on a Fiat at an auto show yesterday - built in Mexico with an Italian transmission and UAW-made engine. What could go wrong?

Looks like the 2nd coming of the Subaru Brat.

Any truth to the rumor that Barack Obama will be tapped to become the next Chairman of Fiat? "We like the way you rule!"

Chairman Obama DOES have a familiar ring to it.

Remember, we Americans are being forced into feeding a Marxist agenda.

Yep. People don't even see that it is happening.

I saw Lech Walesa speak once. He said one of the things that made it difficult for Soviet block nations to "leave" was that none of them MADE a thing. One might make SOME parts for a washing machine or a car or whatever but none of them fabricated something from end to end.

I haven’t seen a Fiat (X19) on an American road since 1978.. What a loser car! A piece of junk then...and now. Even Chrysler merging couldn’t save Fiat.

Well, X stands for experimental, 1 is for the 1 original engineer that designed it and 9 are for the 9 engineers who tried to fix the first guy's mistakes.

First In Automotive Trouble.

holy cow, post a link on that buggy

I was at the auto show last week and was impressed at the Honda hybrid sedan that got 47.

As far as I know, there is still a tariff of up to 25% on imported pickups.

It seems an older design, not easily alterable to US safety standards.

Anyone really think a little FRONT wheel drive pickup carrying NO load but still slower than a Prius, is going to sell carrying a price tag premium?

The VW Amarok would seem a much more likely candidate.
