Dequindre Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 How has the Fiat brand not been discontinued in the U.S. yet? Dealership contractual agreements? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are getting cut down to one model-the 500X I don't see them lasting long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe if they took that model, slapped a Chrysler grille on it and made it a PT Cruiser, it would have sold in somewhat respectable numbers. Even the Chrysler brand had stronger branding than Fiat. The Fiat models should have sold in Chrysler's dealerships instead of making the Fiat brand come over. Another model that would have worked better as a Chrysler would have been the Miata based 124 which could have been a revived Lebaron convertible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to serve the purpose of saving a brand that needed help (Chrysler) and not bringing over another brand no one asked for (Fiat). I hope Stellantis learned from this and brings their European products over and places them within the brands that already exist here.
