Fix It Again Tony

The legendary Fiat, the car that broke down every week and earned the knock "Fix It Again Tony" will now return from the dead and save the Chrysler Corp, their hostile and nasty work force, and their really pissed off investors. FIAT is the car company that tried to sell a car in the U.S. with no parts available, the car that went from 0 to 35 in a fantastic 9 seconds, the one that seated four (as long as none of them were taller than 5'7"), not to mention the half life of around five months, THAT FIAT is a savior? Well only sort of. The current FIAT company is completely different than the one prior to 1994. FIAT has been run by a guy named Sergio Marchionne who has completely turned the company around. As well as making their cars comfortable and reliable, the reborn FIAT 500 has drawn nearly a quarter-million orders to date which means there's a waiting list in Europe. Will it sell here? Obama and the lefties think Americans DEMAND fuel efficient cars (small, light and underpowered) in spite of the fact that all data shows that we do not. All Obama clones think that FIAT solves everything. This ain't a done deal yet because it is difficult to believe that any company would jump into an industry with a UAW contract. Stay tuned.
