“chicken, you think? I think Fiat is a good brand and bringing in competitive small size vehicles can help push them over. Americans always made great 8 cylinder cars but they couldn’t quiet get the small engines right. Look at cars like Ford Focus. Things would fall apart after 80K while Japanese kept on going. I think Fiat can prove to be a good competitor in the market. Time will tell.

I credit him with being a good corporate officer and he’s very good with the numbers but I don’t think Fiat is a good brand. It’s certainly better than the mess that he inherited though – the still fall apart before 80k miles but at least it’s not because of rust.
They are on a roll because of the success of the 500 but I don’t see much beyond that.
Getting Chrysler was a good move because it didn’t cost them anything – so it’s all gravy for them – but anything that they make, I can think of several competitors that are better for the same money, or cheaper for the same product.
“Time of If Outside Temp. Inside Temp must
Day is less than: be more than:

Cobble, why don’t you get a Snuggie?
THL highly recommends them.
Thanks Snappy/DIBS, I’m going to go scrub some more and try to take my mind off it.
Cobble, is BH around?
If so, I suggest you drop everything and have a fantastic breakfast!
cobble…is there an electric outlet in the common area??? Get a space heater and plug it in out there so you won’t be paying the electric bill.
