Since when do commercials not suck? This is why I do not have TV service.
I can get all my shows in full on DVD without interruptions at a later date.

Dodge however, not so much.

Compare that to Dodge of old that had countless issues and almost no recalls or extended warranties offered after the 3/36 base warranty. The bankruptcy and being sold to Fiat are probably the best things that've happened to Dodge in decades. Since then it's been a whole new attitude, they revived training for employees, demanded better product, and as they've said over-invested in the US market to turn the company around...and as a result, US operations are the only profitable part of Fiat currently.
Captain Ned wrote:Nope, it was a Fiat 127. Growing up we were a Fiat family and over the years had an 850, a 124 and a 131 Mirafiori. The 124 was the basis for Lada and Polski Fiat so we used to get cheaper parts for those. Those Fiats were rusty and unreliable, but they sure knew how to make an exhaust sound sweet.After all, the Yugo was a Fiat 131 built by Communists.

Dart is the 1st real FIAT product but it's sales have been hurt by $15,300 Dodge Avengers and 200's.... kinda hard to sell a Dart for $20,000 with more practical better equipped mid size sedans selling for less, to be honest I'm not sure why anyone is buying anything else in that price range.
