I only remembered the crappy Fiats of the past in the US, turns out that they are very nicely designed these days. And why: I guess maybe because they own Alfa Romeo, whose car designs are just awesome. (And they also own Ferrari. Yeah, Ferraris are Fiats now. And Maserati too.)

Here's the interior of the Alfa Romeo "8C Competizione" for example. Awesome:

Oh sure, you say, that's their most expensive model, one of the finest Italian sports cars available. OK then, here's the Fiat 500 which seems to be their low-end. Not too shabby:

Just fire all the designers at Chrysler and let the Italians do the job.
