So they move the whole freaking boot of Italy to Mexico? Splended, I'll take two. One to look pretty rusting away in the front yard, the other to sit at my mechanics lot for when I need parts.

Yes, yes, they were an Italian company hence the reason people hired Tony to fix 'em. Now they should hire Jose to fix 'em.

You guys, be serious, this is why J-Lo can't endorse this car anymore. She's Puerto Rican. Secret's out.

I hear industry in Mexico is thriving in a few places, though.

Re: Fiat 500 Abarth Super Bowl commercial

I liked the commercial; doesn't mean I'd buy the product (especially not for twenty-two grand). Seems to me this Fiat's mining the same narrow vein as the Mini, and I wonder how much gold is there. Plus, it would take years of thriving business in the U.S. to convince me that Fiat is back to stay.
