    Fiat Looking To Add A Third Model

    William Maley

    Editor/Reporter - CheersandGears.com

    March 19, 2012

    Fiat's U.S. lineup is only made up of one vehicle, the 500 and its variations. That will soon grow to two when the 500L makes its Atlantic crossing next spring. But Fiat U.S. chief Tim Kuniskis revealed to the Detroit Free Press there could be three Fiats.

    Kuniskis wouldn’t go detail what the third model could be, but he did say that styling will always be their emphasis and that “any car we sell has got to be different.”

    So, what could be the third vehicle? Well, it could be either the Panda, Punto, or a unknown vehicle.

    Driving around Kirkland this weekend, I saw 2 or 3 of these being test driven and have to say they are still BUTT UGLY!!!

    They are narrow, very tall cars with their donut tires and going around a corner I noticed considerable body roll. They look cheap and the people driving them look uncomfortable in the cramped interior.

    Not impressed and in regards to their Styling, they need to wake up and find someone that understand the definition as I do not read or hear positive things about the little car. The local Seattle times review was not at all positive about the car.

    I know a couple of guys with 500's and they both love them! They have both offered to let me drive theirs but i have always politely declined. One of the guys is 6'5" and he says he is very comfortable in it! That's hard to believe. He said the key was he didn't get a sunroof because they eat a quite a bit of head room. It's kind of amusing to see that big a guy get out of that small of a car

      EV Home Charging: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

      By Drew Dowdell · Posted

      The CrossClimates will be the next set on the Chrysler.  Albert blew out the right rear on his set of Blizzaks on Thursday and it was unrepairable, so the whole set is getting covered by the road hazard warranty. BUT I also have summer tires, so I ran back home, got those, and had those put on. Albert is at 25k miles a year lately and though that will calm down eventually, it's going to pick up for the next 6 months, so I expect him to burn through the summers by the time October rolls around. I'll trade both sets in (they gave me back 3 of the Blizzaks) and get a credit towards the CrossClimates. They'll be the last set of tires I put on it because we'll trade out of it around 130k - 140k once Mopar will no longer warranty it. I don't feel like buying two more sets of tires for it.  I hear great reviews about them. Sure, but in the end the EV comes out ahead. Also, random bombings in the middle east don't significantly shift the monthly family budget.

      Cool little video, thanks.  The music sort of reminds me of ... never mind! Arlington, Texas was the final assembly point for both of our family's Cutlass Supreme coupes.  I thus have a fondness for that GM plant. I spent way too much time in college going to check out cars - from classifieds, at dealerships ... Had I not done that, I could have graduated magna or summa!  Maybe ...

      What I was really going to say: On this 14th of March, what type of pie are you having, going to have, or, if not partaking, would like to have had? I'm in door #3 and, as far as pie goes, I wouldn't even know where to start.

      Having driven a pickup truck for six years straight, and a string of sports cars before that (although I had the TDI Jetta) it's really nice to just drive a comfortable sedan. But then again, I am sixty damn years old.
