good reason not to buy a BMW

87. And Chrysler is owned by Fiat.

Gotta wonder how many good Americans died at the business end of the war machines that poured out of Fiat's factories, as the did their part to aid the spread of fascism.

In fact, the Agnelli family, which still owns and controls much of Fiat (and by proxy, Chrysler) today, and is still one of the wealthiest families in Italy, had their control of Fiat stripped after WW2 because they were so closely connected to Mussolini that they were considered to be a threat to the nation. The American and Italian governments were so worried about them that they didn't want them to have access to any factories that might allow them to supply any sort of resistance that popped up. Wealth opens many doors, however, and that prohibition was lifted in 1966, allowing the family to take an active role in the company again.

Every Chrysler product you buy makes the Agnelli's a little bit richer.
