Chrysler Bankruptcy Filings Shed Light on Which Fiat Models Headed for U.S. : Auto News

There has been plenty of speculation as to which Fiat vehicles will make it on to North American roads as a result of the merger with Chrysler, but thanks to bankruptcy filings, the mystery has been solved.

In total, it looks like five or six Fiat and Alfa Romeo models will make their way over, as well as two engines and one impressive transmission.

Robert Manzo, the executive director of Capstone Advisory Group LLC, a company that is working with Chrysler during the Chapter 11 filings, stated clearly that the vehicles are the Fiat 500 and Panda, the Grande Punto and Alfa MiTo as well as the C-Evo based sedan and Milano 940.

The Fiat 500 and and Panda will fit into the micro-car category, although the Panda isn’t exactly micro. As more of a compact crossover, it will likely be branded as an entry-level Jeep.

The Alfa Romeo MiTo, will come over as a sporty sub-compact, and the Fiat Grande Punto will be a sub-compact hatchback.

The only thing that isn’t entirely clear is the talk of the C-EVO platform and the Milano 940. While these two vehicles would be more mid-sized, they may actually only be one vehicle. The C-EVO is a platform, expected to underpin the successor to Alfa’s 147 (likely the 149), whereas the Milano 940 is a concept car based on the platform. We expect to know more when Alfa brings new products to the Frankfurt Auto Show in September.

In terms of engines, the agreement would see two Fiat motors travel across the ocean. The first is a 3.0-liter diesel and the second is a 1.4-liter gasoline powerplant. The deal will also see a new state-of-the-art double-clutch transmission come over for use in many of these new models.

Meh, not that crazy about any models that Fiat offers but it'll be nice to have some new cars on the streets.
 
The Panda is so awesome!

By the way, will they be badged Fiat/Alfa or will they be badged as Chryslers?
 
It's probably going to be called the all new 2010 Chrysler Pooh.
and they'll have to change the same because it has a subjective name.

Just like the Buick La CROSSE. now called Lucerne, wtv that POS all retirees drive.

how about NO !

renault did a merging with American Motor Corporation
they brought the R9 R11 and R25 and they became the alliance, encore and medaillon

they sold the failling corporation a few years later to Chrysler who did this only to get the Jeep brand they kept the medaillon for a short time afterward and the eagle name survived on the Talon
 
We should be getting the 500, Panda and Grande Punto. Hopefully with Abarth versions too.

Alfa is expected to ship over the Mito and new Milano and Giulia. No Alfa will be rebadged as a Chrysler.

The deal allows Chrysler to acess Fiats small engines and plattforms while Fiat gets acess to Chrysler plants, dealers and car line-up.

Its very ambitious, hopefully it all works out.
