admin — Sat, 05 Mar 2011 06:24:33 +0000

The Fiat Freemont is an MPV which is designed together with Chrysler and itâ€™s based on the Dodge Journey model, though it is a bit modified, having a front fascia that is a bit more aggressive, with wheel arches that are prominent and LED taillights. The car was a bit modified for the European market, making it more driveable, by retuning the suspension of the car and the steering.

The Fiat Freemont is an MPV with a lot of room inside, a wheelbase of 2890mm, which makes it the largest of their class. The capacity of the model stands at 1461 liters. All models have 7 seats, climate control with triple zone and a touchscreen system that provides entertainment.

The engine on the Freemont is a 2.0L diesel with 140HP or 170HP. There will also be a 4×4 model which will have either the 170HP engine or a 276HP engine from Chrysler. The Fiat Freemont will be launched in the summer of 2011 in Europe.

Chrysler Will Be Handling The Fiat 500 Distribution

Peter Fong is the Chrysler CEO and the head of sales for all Chrysler Group brands, and these days he announced that for the US, the delicate Fiat 500 will be distributed by Pentastar.

The sales arenâ€™t exactly aiming for the ceiling so, Chrysler decided that thereâ€™s no need to build a dedicated dealer network for this petite car, instead it will simply arrange a special Fiat 500 corner in the existing showrooms. This shouldnâ€™t be so difficult because 80% of Chrysler dealers are also offering Jeep and Dodge lines.

The Fiat 500 will be built at Chryslerâ€™s Toluca, Mexico plant in late 2010 or early 2011, and from the total amount of 100,000 units the company is planning to send one third to Brazil (under the name of Abarth).

Letâ€™s wish them all the best and for los brasilenos… Happy Shopping!

Fiat’s Strada Cabine Dupla Pickup

Especially for their fans living in South America and in Europe the Italian manufacturer Fiat released on the market in 2008 a few versions of their new Strada pickup.

Time has passed and today they decided to announce a new dual cab model with two extra back seats and only two doors. I donâ€™t know how ergonomic these two doors can be but as you can see from the picture below, the Cabine Duple (this is the name of the car) looks pretty nice.

On one hand this vehicle resembles a lot to the Subaru Brat but it has no four-wheel-drive while on the other hand some may think that this may be the next inspiration source for Dodge. Who knows?
