fiat dappertutto (fiat everywhere)

The NY Times reports that FIAT, the Italian carmaker, may buy a controlling stake in Opel, the GM subsidiary based in Germany. The company is already in negotiations, with the blessing of the Obama Administration, to acquire a 20 percent share in Chrysler. I am still holding out until the first cinquecento (500) makes its way to an American auto dealer. Looks like I may not have to wait very long.
