FCA should drop that 2.4 litre Tigershark engine into an affordable, lightweight, no frills, 4 door sedan with sporting intent, and an available manual transmission. They'd sell a boatload of them.
@K03sport5 жыл бұрын
FCA's/Fiat's lack of vision has let them down. I'm sure the 500x is a nice vehicle, but unless you live in a major city, finding a dealer can be downright impossible and even then, dealers are disappearing (Cincinnati anyone?). Fiat is the Italian brand that couldn't because they lacked product offering/differentiation and w/the lofty asking prices, only those that think a 500x is cute and a Renegade isn't Jeep enough will be the core customer. I agree, price is too high and content is too low; especially when anything from Subaru will eat the 500x for lunch at the same or lower price point and Subaru is intune with their client base; not sure if Fiat is in tune with anything or anyone
@76carmel5 жыл бұрын
FCA really flubbed the marketing of Fiat. Fiat should have completed with MINI with the quirks and style.

@@buildmorefarms1007 Of course it is -- BMWs are disgustingly expensive. On the other hand, it also has great sport seats (when properly equipped), 50/50 weight distribution, a performance based (RWD-biased) AWD system, one of the best ZF automatics in history, and 240+ hp (underrated) form a 4 cyl. These things are hard to come by in a sedan if you're not shopping in the luxury segment, unfortunately. It's not a race car -- not even close. But the sum of it's parts are more than a glorified Camry. A Camry is nice -- and just fine. But it will never be able to do AWD drifts around corners. If you want these things, you have to pay -- that's just life.
