Italy dropped it's taxing of foreign cars in order to join EU (to pleasure of Germany and France) and as a result Japanese and Koreans are dominating sales (FIat sells less then 30%).

Hopefully they will test the hell out of it as it won't be a feature if the motors need to be recalled after 6 months or something.. That direct port fuel injection makes a LOT of power in the 4 bangers so its about time they tried it in a big V 8......
