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.

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?????

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!

You actually got that thing to do 70?
