Your just way too funny!!! The Verano is also a great vehicle for us big folks, Me being 6'6" tall if we wanted a small CUV, then this is great. But it is still a small auto.

Interesting you should bring up Fiat's wacky American dealer network. Here in Kentucky, the two nearest Fiat dealerships to me are in Florence, a town 12 miles south of Cincinnati, and Louisville. Both are around 100 miles away from me. I understand Louisville because its one of Kentucky's largest cities, but Florence? There's a Fiat dealership in Cincinnati proper, so why can't folks in Florence drive a mere 12 miles up the road to buy and service their 500s? I also don't see, you know, tons of people in Florence driving 500s, either. Lexington is Kentucky's other large metropolitan area besides Louisville and I think a Fiat showroom there would attract more buyers and general interest than one in Florence, considering one of the largest colleges in the state is there. I totally agree with this that having a dearship hundereds of miles from a customer is not going to win over someone to buy their product and setting one up only 12 miles away from a major town in a small town is just stupid. Here the dealership is close to seattle and the next major one is almost 100 miles away but at least you have the ability to cover a nice wide area, but then the hilly Seattle area is all about the SUV and the dealerships here are over loaded with these small ugly cars. Maybe if they did some newspaper and Television advertising would help to bring in potential buyers. Yet the crowd I think this is focused at are also the same people that preferre the share a ride which is huge in the seattle area. Just pay your monthly fee and then also a basic cost when you need a car. This works out better for those that live in the big cities.

Please you must have your head in a vice grip to not see the squeezed tall head of an ugly small car that will tip over easily in a high wind. Yet, as they say, Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Enjoy your love of the car as I think there are far better sub compacts than this ugly basterd of a car.

That was Rock on for a Communicate nothing show. Yea they hit the few talking head points, they should have allowed him to point out some things the Gov and the car business should be doing to really rock us forward. Still great to see he is kicking hard. Awesome dude.

Sweet Post Balthazar, that is really cool, I had no idea the headlamps followed you as you turned the steering wheel.

Over all, take a Nice mid 80's Monte Carlo with a Ramjet 350 or 502 or even a modern LS3 or LS9 under the hood to anything that is a current selling product and I would kick their ass on a Red light Run. Sleeper baby!!!

Sweet Red Ferrari and a Black Menacing Lambo in Seattle this morning. Gotta love sport cars.

There is room for limited production run of RWD V8 cars. This can be a profitable niche that will please people and act as a halo car to other auto's that Chevy sells.

WOW, Hope everyone is truly OK and no long lasting scars or bodily dammage done.

We could say the same thing about why did GM not use Pontiac for limited edition runs of modern versions of old performance cars. This is a beauty and I think there is a market for limited production runs of select desirable cars.

Yea just put the terrorist in front of the Rubicon and smash the Gas Pedal!!!

WOW, I loved the 928 GTS, that car rocked!!! Color sucks though.

First start by dropping off the cliff the ugly GT-R and bring back a real Skyline. In regards to the other two, I know some people really like the Z and SX cars, but I will pass on them.

H'mmmmm So at first I was thinking HELL NO WAY on this!!! Yet the more I ponder this, the more I realize this will not only make the roads safer for those of us that love to drive, but it will keep the lemmings, Yes you bozo's that want to play with your phones, makeup, etc anything other than be a responsible driver in line so I can quickly drive around you all. Give us the choice, either full automatic driving or full hell yea I am responsible for my kick ass driving skills.

WOW, Just more ways to take an ugly non selling car and have plenty of production sheet metal sitting around for the birds to poop on. Even the last few months show it still is not selling here in the states. Hello anyone at the helm of Fiat???? Do you not realize you have the wrong cars for the wrong market???? Wonder how many millions more will be spent before they pull the plug again and flee or finally wake up to realizing the tastes of this car are not liked here.

Sweet, Gotta love the room under the hood to work on the baby. It just does not come any easier than this for working on the car. Love that big ol wood siding. Funny how I hate this on most vehicles, but the Olds Station wagon and the Fords actually looked pretty good this way.

I totally agree, if you had a torque monster 4 banger that got you in the low to mid 20's in a full size pickup so you could still haul a days work of material and tools, I think it would work out really well. Especially if the interior was designed to be hosed out so you would not have to worry about mud, etc. I think Chevy could do this in their full size truck using the 2.8L Duramax Diesel engine. That would totally rock.

I feel that it would be good to KILL OFF, Yes I said it, KILL OFF Lincoln and then decide what REAL products they want in a luxury division versus we will sell this under FORD.

So when Toyota decides to stop investing in the ugly prius due to lack of demand for the product, they will get their own large negative movie titled: "DEATH of the Hybrid, How Toyota killed what should have saved the world!" Some how I do not think we will ever see they vilified the way GM has been. So much Double standard BS from the Politicians and idiot americans. The biggest villian has been Consumer reports which has totally lost their way in unbiased judgement of who is good and who is bad.

Ugh, Would rather have a Jeep SRT8 over this ugly jelly bean.

Salty

So would the Chevy 130R be the right competitor to this bad boy?

Yes, some pin head actually thinks people have forgotten all marketing and common sense and are willing to follow their lemmings naming structure.

I think that they will want to recapture as much as possible of their existing investment, so sadly I think it will be as cubical has stated, a rebadge job. Yet I think they will spend some time on making the rebadge as individual as possible. I think most of the auto industry has learned that poorly executed badge jobs do not survive.

To me, I say they use this name on their new SUV. That would sound fitting. I cannot see them going away from their normal naming system for a car.
