Too much of the Fiat stuff is "Not available in North America."
Should FIAT News & Rumors be part of MOPAR News & Rumors?
It seems strange to me that any news about FIAT is relegated to the same area in this site where you would also post news about Honda, BMW or Skoda. Given the relationship between FIAT Automobile Group and Chrysler, shouldn't they be in the same section of the Allpar BB? Or will it be after FIAT gains full ownership of Chrysler (or maybe never?). Not criticizing the choice made by the Admins, just finding it a bit strange, although I am sure I will soon be told the reasons why!!!!

Like It or Not "We" May Have Too.
The "Merger" May Get Too Complicated to Keep Track of.
And the Real Questions:
What About Maserati and Ferrari ?
And Soon Will Enzo Anselmo Ferrari be Spinning in His Grave at 10,000 RPM?

Hint: The 1st One Was the REAL Question!

FIAT News and Rumors was a Mopar News subforum before it was relegated to be an Auto News subforum. It is just my opinion that it should be again.
Besides, where do FIAT dealers, regardless of continent, source their parts? Mopar. Daimler would never have done something like this. It just seems more natural to have the FIAT news subforum in closer proximity to the Mopar news forum since platforms, architectures, etc. are shared, again unlike Daimler.

With the sharing of platforms and parts, it will become more and more difficult to segregate Fiat stuff from Chrysler stuff.
Daimler shared very little, so it was easy to ignore anything they had new because it would never get to Chrysler (including parts). The only major sharing was between the Grand Cherokee and the ML as Daimler could see they sucked compared to Jeep's engineers!
Since Duckie is always very prescient on these matters, we will probably have to decide this sooner rather than later.

In my opinion, until a merger is completely done and thorough, there's no reason to merge the subforums. At the moment, there are lots of Mopars that don't have anything to do with FIAT, and lots of Fiats that don't have anything to do with Chrysler. One can argue that there are Mopars that still have more to do with Daimler even, especially with the transmissions and front subframe assemblies that are either directly-Benz or are derived from Benz designs.
Until the product lines are truly homogenized there's a chance that there could be a split. It happened with Daimler, and to an extent it happened with Mitsubishi.
