Well, I guess we know just how far out you can take Fiat’s modernized 500 mini car. And Italian tuner outfit by the name of Romeo Ferraris has made a track special version of the little guy that puts out 360 horsepower. Which, given the 500’s size and weight, has to be a hell [...]
Remember when Fiat bought into Chrysler, and there was all that speculation about which models, if an, Fiat would be bringing over to America. More than a few people, me included, were hoping that Fiat would bring in their new 500. A great competitor to BMW’s MINI, for one thing, and it also looked to [...]
Hey, since we’re talking about German tuners (or at least we were yesterday), check out this Fiat 500 Abarth cranking out 200HP. Now, I’m not one to advocate huge horsepower numbers from tiny little cars to others … but it always worked for me!
Good news for diehard fans of Chryslers retro-styled and uber-flexible PT Cruiser: It is not going to that great junkyard in the sky as part of the death, resurrection, government buy-out, new ownership by Fiat. That was the reports from late last year, but it turns out that there’s enough love, and or sales to [...]

The big announcement here is that along with the sale to Fiat, Chrysler has filed a motion with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court to reject 789 U.S. dealer agreements, meaning that they’ll be closing them down.
So, [...]
After months of back and forth between companies and the U.S. government, new rumors surfacing while others fade, and everyone simply holding their breath, Chrysler announced they will form an alliance with Fiat SpA.
What this means, according to Chrysler’s press release (which is below), Fiat will take 20 percent control of Chrysler, LLC and [...]
Woo-Hoo! I knew we’d get some fun stuff out of this Fiat/Chrysler deal!
According to reports, Fiat’s 500, a modern updating of the postwar car that saved Fiat financially and got Italy back on the road (as well as starting the Italian version of the baby boom generation, but that’s another story) is coming to America. [...]
Fiat continues to tease us here in America with funner and funner versions of its 500, the modern interpretation of its micro car from the 60s. Essentially Fiat’s response to BMW’s MINI, the 500 supposedly has a lot going for it. It’s stylish; light handles well and has decent enough horsepower to make it fun [...]
