Fiat is in the alliance as a way of getting some of their models built and sold here in the US. Chrysler is in as a way of getting more Chryslers sold in Europe and at the same time keep their factories producing cars even when the times are rough. Don't look for a Chrysler 500 here in the US as that doesn't help Fiat at all, but don't be surprised to see a Fiat 500 or more likely a Alfa MiTo... Neither or these is planned to be the first Fiat/Alfa brought to the US though. Keep an eye out at your Chrysler dealership for some pesky lil Italians soon!
