Chrysler and that other outfit....

I've been driving Chrysler products since the 1950s, and I don't care if sixty million Italians do like Fiat, those upholstered roller skates have never been able to keep up to the traffic on North American freeways. Maybe they're OK for going to the local store for more spaghetti or a bottle of vino, but they just can't compete with a real car that has big comfortable seats, air conditioning, and cruise control for those long-haul cross-country trips. Why not? Because for that kind of driving, you need a car with wheels bigger than dinner plates, and an engine that isn't working its ass off to do the speed limit outside town.

And on this side of the pond, Fiat has never been famous for its reliability. Chrysler products, on the other hand, have always been quite reliable. As far back as the 1950s, we had a taxi company in town that used Dodges and Plymouths, and some of those cars went 400,000 miles before they quit. Show me a Fiat that can do that and I'll kiss your ass until you bark like a fox!
