WOW HyundaiSmoke great name calling. You must be quite insecure. I never said I didn't like Hyundai I said " There are those that don't want a Hyundai or a spinnoff of one" thats all. And why would you call someone a racists when they choose a vehicle that is different that what you like? Look up the word racists in the dictionary and get back to us. [ hint; I dont think it has anything to do with vehicle preference.]

I will tell you why it wont work in the US

1. Little car in a country that is dominated by the SUV.
2. Tall people wont fit in it.
3. Gay men, old men, and women will be the only ones driving it.
4. 99.9% of the US population have no idea what a FIAT is.
5. Not enough room in the boot for compulsive shoppers.
6. It will be a watered down variant of the Euro model.
7. Replacement parts/servicing will be expensive.
8. It will cost too much as that same cars in its class in the US are plastic buckets with 4 wheels costing 1000s less. Since the majority want to visually see the quality.
9. Fat people will not fit in the car. That is theoretically 35% of the US consumers interested in a FIAT gone.
