Fiat earned their bad reputation honestly in the USA, but they've come a long way since. Chrysler desperately needs a new small FWD platform to replace the Neon/Caliber/Girl-Jeep-of-the-Week. If this happens, I'd say it gives them a definite leg up on GM (which has only the Cobalt and Aveo crapboxes) as far as having something to sell when gas prices go back up. I'd put even money on them with Ford to survive into 2010, in fact.
