It is literally both of those. It is metaphorically neither of those.
The Audi Etron GT will essentially be this car in a cheaper Audi dress. If they can get it right it'll be a winner.
Outside of the US, Chrysler is a fucking joke and Fiat is a major global brand. I would be shocked if the Fiat brand disappeared.
