Who's talking all this shit, a bunch of North Americans whose last memory of Fiat is the outgoing 164 from 1991? Times have changed ladies, the change Fiat has undergone since then is no different from the change Hyundai has undergone. Now everyone choke on a thick, meaty cockstick before speaking again.

I don't care if I have to set foot in a Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep/Isuzu/Plymouth/Eagle/AMC dealership to buy it. Just bring it over; the rest of this crap Pffft. All I want is a FIAT 500 or an Abarth.

Actually due to luck of reliability Benz is paying 3.5 B to FIat, not out of goodness of their hearts or out of love to former war ally. The Smart, as you may know, is not even distributed in States by Benz to keep them arm length away from future reliability issues.

If they do itll be based on US reaction to the A1 and if Audi brings the S1 to the US.

I think the Mini's have had success here in this country and they might too. When I was touring parts of Europe over the last couple years I fell in love with the Alfa Romeo Brera GT Coupe. They do need to bring these cars to the U.S market. Haha I say bring on the Fiats, and Alfa Romeo’s! I think the Mini’s have had success here in this country and they might too.

Fiat has an awesome small diesel technology and their cars improved a lot compare to their days of "marriage" with GM. 2 Billion USDs from GM helped as well.
