2. Say what? Fiat has bungled

Fiat bungled the introduction of the Made-in-Mexico 500. It was the worst new automobile introduction since the Edsel. Fiat dealerships, which Fiat calls "studios", have been fighting for survival.

And the new Dodge Dart II, a rebadged Alfa that Fiat claims is "all new", has been a big flop.

And if that's not bad enough, the newly introduced 500 4-door is made in a rebuilt Serbian Yugo factory the US bombed to the ground.
