Fiat is making me mad, they are taking Dodge out of the name of the trucks, and calling them "Rams".....

That would be like Chevrolet calling their trucks, "Sierra"......

And that "My tank is full" commercial, how gay.


I hate change.

I hate change too, but I read on TDR that they actually said Cummins Turbo Diesel in a commercial. 1st time for that. Usually they act ashamed of having the best pickup engine on the market.

i was really pissed that when they brought the powerwagon back , they didn't include the cummin's as a engine option .

i really wanted to buy one the second i saw the concept truck a few years ago .

i just hope the "fiat people " don't rape and pillage the chrysler end of things like the germans did a few years ago .

the worst thing they ever did was merge with daimler .

It was a survival move, good from a technology standpoint, bad from a management standpoint. Unfortunately, management usually trumps technology when the bean counters have the company by the short hairs in poor economic times.
