Fiat stands for FINE ITALIAN AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGIE. I know, I have a
1977 124 spider with a twin cam 1756, 5speed and 4 wheel discs. When
they came out new in 1968 they blew away all of the others with these
features. And the top goes up and down with one hand...

I guess you need parts to be cheap when you have to replace them constantly!  I heard something interesting on the news the other day, it seems that the Bin Laden family owns the worldwide franchise on VW and Audi.  So if you have ever bought a VW or Audi, you have put a little money in their pocket.  I'll never buy a VW or Audi.
