This article concerns Fiat and the death of their honorary chairman Gianni Agnelli. I always liked Fiat's body style except the X-19. Even with the "Fix It Again Tony" reputation that seemed so common I've always wanted one. FiatArticle |

Sad state of affairs: "...Fiat's strategy - a progressive exit from the auto business..."" Does that mean, no more Alfa, Lancia or FIAT??? What about Ferrari and Masarati; owned by GM????? Neil 01DII |

Maybe GM will take them over completely. Just think we could get a Ferrari with 15 cup holders for only $14,999  |

lemme see... 1.2 liter 4-banger, 55 horsepower, 4.3:1 rear axle ratio, four speed stick, no power steering, no power brakes, steering something like 4 turns lock to lock with a good 20-degree slop, 155R13 tires... what else... no radio... a great car overall! fairly stable, however, didn't bitch a bit when the left rear wheel fell off at 70 mph! peter |
