Useless factoids but interesting, l also note they're in bed with Fiat amongst others!!
That's right Andy, i think mine said Chicago Illinois but might be thinking of the Honda Accord Coupe i had.

There was a merger of Fiat and Chrysler Automobiles to create FCA (Fiat Chrysler Automobile or perhaps Automotive?) but now they have merged with Lancia, Maserati etc and PSA Group in France to create Stellantis, one of the worlds largest manufacturers.

Rumour has it the Fiat 500L is a Jeep Renegade with a missing crossmember (only for reinforcement on the Jeep for off-raod use) which is quite scary really!
