I've only owned one Chrysler product and it turned out to be one of the best cars I've ever owned - a 1985 Chrysler Fifth Avenue. I sold it to my brother 16 years ago and he's still driving it.

that Fiat will sell Fiat-branded 500s (a subcompact) through the Chrysler network beginning in 2011. That's not far off. I'm cheered if this all ends up succeeding, because I would have a lot of interest in a 500, if it had a standard 3/36-5/60 warranty.

why wouldn't Fi-Chrysler sell it with a 3/36-5/60 Warranty? Sure they will!
 
The Fiat 500 is a cool car, I'd have to say I'm interested in it as well.

In England, for instance, it comes with a 2-year warranty:

Would they offer substantially more warranty here because it is what Americans expect and because we may otherwise be skeptical of buying a Fiat? Well sure, they MIGHT.

nippon...there are still plenty of us oldtimers around who are still interested in buying a new rig, no old used ones in this padre's future. And Warranty is one of those things I look very seriously at.
 
And the Fiat Abarth would have to come with a stick shift for me. Period. Just as sure as the Yankees are going to sink in to the Atlantic when things get serious later, the 500 needs to come with a stick, not paddle shifters.
 
The smaller the car the more it must have a stick shift, the '08 Mitsubishi Lancer is just large enough to be OK with me to have an automatic CVT tranny. As long as I can have my titanium paddle shifter with 6 forward and 6 back.
 
And The Guess Who's #10 album, a can of Coca-Cola classic, and roads without holes in them...hey then I'm a happy Arizona camper.

Supposedly the Fiat 500 would be sold in unique showrooms, as BMW does with Mini. So, will Fiat convert closed Mopar dealers?
 
At first, they wanted to just brand the car as '500', but look how well that worked for Ford!

umm...they don't need "special" showrooms for the Fia-Chrysler 500, the car will sell itself in any old plain Mopar salescenter.
 
Agreed? The car is a serious threat to my pocketbook in the future at some point. And I repeat-for this car I want a manual transmission. It's in the size range at which an automatic transmission would seem too "slow", or "sluggish" or just generally uncool. Gotta have a stick shift for this baby.

The 500 needs a stick and a diesel engine. The 500C diesel sold in the UK gets between 60-70 MPG US. The gas version is under 40 MPG US combined .
