new rumour: Fiat leaving the U.S.?

Ciao, Arrivederci – Can You Muster a Tear if Fiat Gets the Axe?
it came as no surprise when rumors cropped up of the brand’s
looming North American demise at the hands of outgoing CEO Sergio Marchionne.
Apparently an "announcement" is coming tomorrow.

Fiat 500 isn't a 500 anything, Yaris Mirage, retro
First off, something named Fiat 500 should have had a 500cc engine.
Second, compared to 2-door Toyota Yaris and Mirage on utility, it has a rear cabin design that greatly reduces interior volume for the sake of looks that try to retain some aspect of a well loved earlier Fiat propelled by 500cc.
(Note that the BMW Isetta was bumped up to 300cc from 250 at launch.)
