Fiat 500 votes please

remember 2002, fiat had over 15bn euros of debt, had to sell its share in GM, sack thousands of workers, pay 1.2bn dollars off its debts, but they still pulled though and now things are looking up. ford's current worries are small compared to fiat's 5 years ago, there is no danger of ford going out of business or getting bought out.

Well I just double checked and its £12.6bn and thats sterling not mickey mouse euro money :eek:. But yeah I get your point it only needs one sucessful car to pull it all back :).
 
ideally the mondeo needs to outsell the 3series again, that will happen naturally in the near future thanks to a cooling euro economy, of which we are already seeing the beginning. people soon avoid overpriced luxuries once consumer confidence is lost and the cost of debt starts to hurt more.

Totally agree there. I think the new mondeo is a better car than the 3 series. First time I saw it was on the new bond 'Casino Royale' and thought wow thats a cool ford :eek:.
 

i'm really not that daft, its still a vote for the 500 :p

(altho the 159 defo wins out of those 3, then mondeo not far behind, but i'd rather walk than get a vectra)
