Re: What could Chrysler/Fiat mean to GM & the US market?

It would take more than two years to engineer existing Fiat models to meet U.S. safety regulations
You need:

1. 5 mph bumpers
2. 5 mph front lights
3. Symmetric front lights
4. Stupid looking blinkers

Suppliers will do that for you in 8 weeks tops. You might perhaps risk a bit worse NHTSA crash test scores, but who cares. Everything else is manufacturers PR talk.
