Fiat owns cummins,I predict the new little diesel will be a POS. it is a Graphite Block with waaaaaaaay to much crap on it to go wrong.MacCTD wrote:Most likely could not meet CAFE standards, also Fiat owns Ram and Jeep so there is probably more profit if kept in house.pjay9 wrote:Dodge is offering a V6 Fiat oil burner...we'll see how that goes!

Ford does offer Silver Metallic paint. Looks pretty close to aluminum.
