Have to keep in mind that when GM owned 20% of Fiat there were grand plans. Further have to keep in mind what Fiat wants to do as far as branding. Fiat is also Lancia, Alfa Romeo, Maserati annnnnd Ferrari (some strange financial relationship). So does Fiat envision that Lancia or Alfa can replace Dodge in the U.S. market? Only the VW group maintains a crap load of brands these days. Likely Fiat will attempt to bring Alfa here as GM hoped to. Does that replace Dodge? We'll see. Frankly I doubt it but 5 years ago would we have seen Pontiac and Mercury gone? Maybe not.
