This past weekend, owners of Fiat cars convened on Asheville, North Carolina to celebrate their Fiat products organized by Club Fiat-Lancia Unlimited. Casually called the Fiat Freak Out 2010, the 27 year-old annual fan gathering convention was celebrated ever since the Italian brand left the United States in 1983. Recognizing that Fiat Automobiles S.p.A. continued [...]
Una bella machina!!!! If there were no Ferrari (perish the thought!) my allegiance would have to ride with Alfa Romeo.

Below, you will find a photo gallery full [...]
Alfa Romeo’s MiTo, the Italian companies answer to BMW’s MINI(more or less) has just gone on sale in England. Why is this such a big deal? Because with Fiats recent acquisition of 35% of Chrysler, the MiTo is one of the models slated for our shores. So let’s take a look at what we will [...]
