this is how outta touch fiat is....

You all realize that Fiat doesn't OWN Chrysler, right? They're not in charge... Chrysler is in charge of Chrysler. Fiat owns 55% of Chrysler, the UAW owns the rest. That's how they all work. The Canadian govt owns 12% of GM, the us govt owns 20%, and the UAW owns the rest. Fiat and Chrysler have a partnership. Yes, the head of Fiat is now the head of Chrysler, but he turned Fiat into one of the worlds largest and most successful auto manufacturers, so I fail to see how this is a bad thing. Fiat builds some of the nicer cars in Europe.

Reid Bigland replaced Giles, and he seems to be very passionate about making Dodge a successful company.

And as for everyone bashing the Dart, saying it's "low quality" or "a crap car" NOBODY outside of the press has even sat in one yet. They've had the doors locked at the auto show (being that it's a preproduction model it's not entirely ready yet), they had one at the auto show that the press got to sit in, and as I remember, everyone was quite impressed with the quailty and standard features.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Chrysler was the fastest growing auto company in North America. Yes, the United States, Canada, and even Mexico, and had more awards for quality than any other manufacturer.
