I'd risk that is true for the US models.
The FIAT umbrella and the PSA line-up in Europe makes for a good chunk of the market with vehicles for all tastes.
Shame the American Fiats are shit. I'd love to know the calculus behind dumping all the crap in the States.
they dump it here because they know americans are idiots who will buy it.
the amount of dodge dipshits and jeep junkies in this country is insane. and they know it's shit, they just don't care because of the marketing/branding that they are TOUGH AND COOL if they own a dodge/jeep product
I'm talking about the US Fiat-branded cars. Forget the Dodges and Jeeps, even the US Fiat brand is dog shit.
Why do you say that? What is so bad with FIAT there?
Their quality control is almost as bad as Tesla's.
Really? That bad?
FIAT in the 90's and early 00's went through a really bad phase, due to Ferrari sinking millions into F1, to the point FIAT Brazil was more active than FIAT Europe developing new models.
FIAT are reliable. A few engines were less than good but FIAT has always been on the forefront of developing new technology into engines and cars. My first car, a cheap model, had direct fuel injection when most other manufacturers were still using carburettors (at best, eletrically controlled).
It's even a joke between owners that FIAT cars don't like mechanics but when they start doing, you're better off changing cars.
Ah. Then FIAT must taking the European ones that don't pass final checks and sending them Stateside. Idk.
I tried to discover what was the line-up you have over there and it seems we get more from over there (essentially through the SUV line, from JEEP) than you receive from here.
What vehicles do you get under that badge?
Currently none are being manufactured, but apparently a hybrid is due for Fiat's re-entry to the States this year or next.
I hope you get some of these.
FIAT Tipo
FIAT Tipo SW
FIAT 600 This is a full eletric.
FIAT Panda The original version was iconic. It had a full 4x4 version. Current models are stunning.
