That's going to be how they have to sell this to automakers. "Get more sales from existing customers and used vehicle purchasers!" Anybody who brings their car in for an upgrade can be hard sold on a newer car, and/or make sure the car being upgraded is worth any sort of trade-in amount or could qualify for a…
The Vespa Ape. Perfect commuter vehicle for NYC.
Oh, the Delta 88 Royale!! I had one of those, but it was an 1981 and had the GM Diesel. Did not blow up. Seriously one of the best cars I've owned. It was slow and floaty on the road, but that was probably a good thing for a high school kid. I could drive around forever and only had to fill up about once a month. Paid…
They'd have to spend the $$$ to federalize any diesel they put in it. I'm pretty sure the one they are stuffing in the GC is too big for this little car. The two engines they've confirmed for the Renegade have already been approved and are available in the 500 and the Dart. I was kind of pissed about the engine…
Ahem. The fuel door is on the *correct* side. On the right side of the vehicle, should you run out of fuel, you can refuel without having to stand in traffic. Also, with the fuel door on the right, you can pull next to the pump at a gas station and open the driver's door without worrying about hitting the pump or…
Preach it. I only need to tow a small motorcycle trailer every once in a while, but a 2000 lb limit, while fine for my bikes, means always being close to that limit, which I don't like. Bikes + trailer + stuff + people... come close to GVWR pretty quickly. An extra 1500 lb buffer would be appreciated.
Well, yes it *WAS* FWD. A *NEW*, Miata-based version would likely be RWD, just as God intended. All I'm saying is slapping a FIAT badge on it instead of Alfa wouldn't be the worst thing possible.
So a new Barchetta then? I'm OK with this as long as they bring it to the USA. I'll take mine in the black and red Riviera Special.
Did someone say fuel savings and the need for beautiful three-cylinder engined vehicles?
Looks like someone fed a bunch of other craigslist car ads into a Markov chain generator (google it. Here's a start) and this was spit out. Pretty funny way to put up a fake ad, if you ask me.
Holy shit, they just need to sell that wagon. As is. I'd buy 2. Good lord that thing is gorgeous!
Eh, that's a Dodge Venom. It was a showcase for their "Cab-Forward" design. So basically it's a concept for the Intrepid.
Ugh, the 500L. FIAT needs to kick that fatty to the proverbial curb and just give us the Panda already. Then the KIA Soul would have some real competition. Every time I see a Soul on the road, I get depressed because it reminds me that the US doesn't get the Panda. :(

Meanwhile, in the USA...
It's a Lexus RX for people who can't afford a Lexus. They attract the same sort of terrible drivers.
Kia sells a ton of Souls over here, but we can't have one of these at all? Damn it Fiat. I mean seriously, they really look similar, but there's something about the Italian that makes me want one. Maybe it's the squircles...
Maybe it's the size and shape, but every time I see a Soul driving around I get reminded of the Fiat Panda. Then I get a little sad, because the Panda isn't sold in the US. :(
That car was imported and federalized. They have the DOT/EPA paperwork to go with the car.
