    Yes, not much details but just wanted to brag that I saw a new Fiat 500 in Auburn hills, with a manufacturers plate on it. Does GM still have any hand in Fiat?

    I want a Fiat 500. Is there room for a 1.5L in there?

    no, GM actually had to pay Fiat to take back their own shares. But there are rumors of a Fiat return to the US. along with Alfa bringing their full line here as well.

    I followed an old one ~Last Weekend~

    OK, technically an Abarth Corsa

    I hope they bring the 500 to the states, I'm really liking the Abarth version.

    I read in 0-60 that stock hp is ~145 but there are even more trick pieces available that bump that to an easy 200. They said the shifter is a bit vague, but I think a shifter kit could probably fix that.

    The car is also something like 600lbs lighter then the mini too!

    please bring this car here! Chris Rummel

    I was wondering if there was any sense in Fiat buying Chrysler. Seems like the product lines are complimentary and Fiat could use the Dealer network for a return to North America.
