With fiat owning Chrysler , is it gonna show up in USA?

I grew up around fiats and love the old models
Fiat 600, 131 and 132 70's models.  I saw few years back a fiat 600 in Cleveland.  The dude drove away n I just stood in the middle of the rain in disbelief.

the 500 looks really nice.  
620M 2004 Dark i.e.; ~ 57K miles (all me);  Looking to swap out engine now.
Triumph Speed Triple 2006 (now ~ 44K miles bought @ 4K miles on 04/2010)
Honda Grom 2015 ~ 3500miles so far.  Love this lil bike

They do have a US web sit and are taking deposits for the cars that aren't available yet.

I drove around in an Fiat Cinqucento during my honeymoon in Croatia.

It was tinny, unsafe feeling and a complete blast to drive  [laugh]
I own several motorcycles. I have owned lots of motorcycles. And have bolted and/or modified lots of crap to said motorcycles...

The Chrysler dealer down the block from me has Fiat coming soon. I think just the 500 is going to be for sale here for now. They have one out front.

Most of the dealers are slated to begin sales on the 31st of March.  500 are already here, they are the prima ediziones.

If nothing else, the styling is leaps and bounds better than other cars at that price point.

The nuts and bolts of the Chrysler deal is that Chrysler will get the small fiat cars and engines, while Fiat gets their new pentastar v6 and larger cars for their market, so it is pretty much a done deal for dealerships starting up in big markets.  Fiat does not "own" Chrysler yet - something more like 30% own them.  They cannot buy the rest until they demonstrate like 2 years of profitability to our Gov.
