Fiat America Edition!

Sorry Readers, for now, we're the ONLY FIAT America you're likely to be getting! Only 1,000 of these cars are to be built, 500 2 doors, 500 Drop tops, but all are slated for Europe. Though we agree with autoblog, it would be odd to have a patriotic car scheme on a foreign car..though they do back Chrysler now.

From an Official Press release:

FIAT SpA AND FIAT INDUSTRIAL SpA: TWO NEW GROUPS, TWO NEW IDENTITIES

On 1 January 2011, as a result of the demerger approved by shareholders on 16 September, there will be two new Fiat groups (both quoted on the Milan Stock Exchange) with two distinct logos: Fiat SpA and Fiat Industrial SpA.

FIAT to have standalone dealers afterall?! The detroit bureau is reporting this week that FIAT may be looking in to standalone dealers desite earlier reports to the contrary. Speculation is that this will allow for a broad penetration in to the US market than if the cars were sold along side existing Chrysler dealerships. Existing dealerships will be given plans this week regarding these new standalone FIAT showrooms and service centers. Only time will tell however this is a move in a very exciting direction for FIAT fans, as well as for automotive job seekers!

As a Public service reminder to all of our FIAT fans, the freakout online registration over at FLU.org ends at midnight on July the 4th.

This is a great opportunity for FIAT fans, both of the new cars and the older generation of US sold FIATs to come together and share their love of the brand and the automobiles. We will be there and we highly recommend you attend if you can! We can't be specific, but there are some very exciting first hand suprises in store for those who attend!
