Let's not forget that Fiat has already failed in the US before by selling junk. I personally have always wanted to own American cars but I keep getting burned. Americans car companies just can't seem to build a car as good as the Japanese and Germans. I feel like the Amercan car companies just take advantage of our desire to buy American and sell us junk. I have owned many American made cars the last being a 2007 CTS (a camery is built much better). I am done with American cars and would not have a bought a Crossfire if was actually an American car. About the only place on earth where you can go and see everyone driving American cars is Detroit. I don't think the people there have any clue what is going on in the world when it comes to cars. Some friends came to Dallas from Detroit and were in shock to see all the foreign cars. I personally could care less what happens to GM or Chrysler, there are much better built cars out there to chose form.
