Fiat in 2012?

I didn't see a thread about Fiat coming to the U.S so excuse me if there is one, but anyways I head rumors of Fiat/Chrysler is going to be establishing dealerships in the U.S in 2012. It would be pretty interesting to see the 500 and the 500 Abarth possibly over here. I'm guessing it could be a way for Alfa to get into the U.S also if Fiat is popular? anyone else have knowledge on this situation?

Saw fiat at the auto show,so that must mean something even if the booth was terribly small.

the 500 starts at 15.5k. Way too much for a car that small.

Orders have already been taking for the first 500+ Fiat 500's... A car Chrysler is hoping will save it's ass.

I've read rumors of a turbo 500 (arbath, maybe not named it) coming stateside.

I'm waiting to see how the US will accept the Fiat brand. I really have no interest in buying Fiat unless something crazy happens.

Thanks for the info! I was hoping the 500 Abarth would come this year since i'm looking for a new car this spring. I am a huge fan of the 500 in general though.

My favorite Fiat is the 131 Abarth... but the new 500 is pretty rad.

Last time Fiat were sold in the United States, FIAT took on a new acronym Fix It Again Tony cause they were haunted with quality issues.

I hope they will better this time around. I like the Alfa 159 and would to at least have the option to buy one next time i want a car.

I have seen the sticker prices. Only the Prius is a bigger scam than a Mini.
