Thumbs up I'll Take One In Red!

If these ever go into production anywhere close to how the concept looks, I'll be a first time Fiat owner within a few days! The painted steel wheels with dog-dish hubcaps are a "must have" design element for this old-school guy.....

That 'Old Man Truck' has the retro look perfected!

Will it pass all the government's safety tests?

Can't imagine they will sell very many if they do bring it to market, but they did a fine job getting it to look right.

Since it's based off an existing model (the 4-door Wrangler) I can't see where that would be too much of a hurdle......

Hey now... do a little research on Henry Ford and his ties to **** Germany. Ford himself was written about by Adolf in his Mein Kampf.

Either way, that was long ago. Imo, I would take the Unimog over any new Chrysler product

Ummm... you do realize that a good portion of current Chrysler are based off a Benz design and Italy (Fiat) was Germany's ally twice.
