Currently none are being manufactured, but apparently a hybrid is due for Fiat's re-entry to the States this year or next.

Ah. Then FIAT must taking the European ones that don't pass final checks and sending them Stateside. Idk.

I'm talking about the US Fiat-branded cars. Forget the Dodges and Jeeps, even the US Fiat brand is dog shit.

Their quality control is almost as bad as Tesla's.

Shame the American Fiats are shit. I'd love to know the calculus behind dumping all the crap in the States.

I have been wrong before, and this is yet another instance. I wasn't aware of that.

I don't even think "Jeep" (in quotes because they're no longer a company) have any presence in the US anymore. All of their presence, as far as I know, is in Amsterdam as part of Stellantis.

Damn it, I hate how true this statement is.

I've never owned one, but I thought they were more reliable in the 1980s and '90s. Was I mistaken?

Capitalism was a fucking mistake

I'd treat this with a bit of skepticism, especially given Jeep's recent history in terms of reliability (or utter lack thereof).

That's great, but when it's retailing for the price of a cheap home, it doesn't mean a ton to the majority of drivers. How long until we see a mass-market small SUV or saloon get near the 700+ km mark for range?
