Interesting! Probably a FWD truck with optional AWD.

I'm sure that this would work Latin America. I think we would need something more substantial here in order to succeed. Something not based on a Renegade underpinning.

If they ever think about US/Canada...

Take on the Big 3 with a full size?  LOL.  Won't sell at all.

Take on the Tacoma and new GM mid?  LOL.  Won't sell at all.

i think they are thinking more; take on the non-existant compact? LOL. still might not sell at all, but a chance.


not at all something i would be looking at... at least not from fiat... but pretty much any other car based pick-up would at least get my attention... sometimes being a first mover gets you sales even if what you put out isn't the best.

Redo the VW Caddy!

On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

HA....unless you could get this with 4x4 for less than $15k, no way would this make sense.
Lighten up Francis.....

Tons of those car type pickups around the world, sort of like the Ford Transit Connect over here but with an open box.

Cheaper, smaller, better mileage, more nimble than a Tacoma/Canyon. Would be interesting if they would catch on here, don't think the idea has really been tried.
