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 .

I just recently read that Fiat is at the bottom of the list for quality in England. How does it rate in Italy and France??? It surely did not have good quality when sold in the states before!!!

People still remember their Fiats breaking down here in the 70's. If there's a repeat, quality issues could really sink the Chrysler comeback.

yep, I think a whole lot of Americans are concerned about Fiat quality build. Those of us interested will check in to it as best we can and then report on it. Eh?

I just spent a weekend at a trade show, and we took out one of our fellow exhibitors' sales reps to dinner. They represent an Italian company, and the dinner discussion inevitably drifted to cars. Both of the Italian gentlemen said they'd never drive a FIAT. Although I surmise that FIAT has to have improved their quality over that of their '60s and '70s offerings in the USA, one wonders. The '60s products would almost rust right before your eyes, but then again, so did others.

Being Italian they probably prefer the cars with names that end in I.
 
Maserati, Ferrari or Lamborghini.

Heck, I know people who weren't even born when Fiat finally left our shores, who still know the "Fix It Again Tomorrow/Tony/Twice/Thrice" jokes! So IMO, Fiat will have a bit of a quality perception to overcome.

Even if they re-badge them as Chrysler's they will have a reliability image to over come. Though the Dodge Cummins PU is still arguably the best out there.
