FIAT to snag some Chrysler?

What happened? I thought there was to be this SMART Car thing and now for the saving of Chrysler via FIAT so they can have a way to get back into the US? I don’t know…I am really starting to doubt the US will see the ‘promised’ economy cars we have been talking about for so long. I have nothing against the idea of bring in some other groups such as the FIAT 500, but I just want to see somebody make a move to get something, anything here that will be saving on fuel.

I have really just thought that gas was going down just before the Inauguration  and then take off like a bottle rocket so we are FORCED to leave oil behind just a little ( to help the move toward more ‘green’ cars) . OH Well…just another bluff.

A possible FIAT import?

Do we really have a green choice?

I’m getting kind of blue about the green cars we never see in the US.
What is it really going to take for something that actually helps the real folks of this country to get something that really benefits them?

I seriously feel that the environmental issues and such never really mean much to the politicians on both sides of the house other than a way to get votes and drop it later. Remember ‘they’ are predicting higher fuel costs just after we were getting ‘used’ to this level .
I hope we see cars like this soon on our roads

So what’s it going to be? Are we stuck with gas guzzlers or not? Do we even dare think green things like tram systems between close cities NOT run by the government?
