This thing looks a LOT, as in darn near just like, a Dodge Magnum.

Interesting.   I see a little bit of Crossfire in there too.

Some of the best ideas are someone else's ideas.  This ain't one of them.

And I'm not sure the Italian version of Chrysler is going to produce much better for us.

Fiat are not really known for their exciting cars (the only one comes to mind is the abarth :hah:). i guess all the 'passionate' italians buy other cars, the rest buy fiat.

i don't really see much resemblance between those two cars shown.

They could use the whole "you got chocolate in my peanut butter" thing as their ad campaign.   :P

Buying Ferrari the company is a very differnt thing from building Ferrari the car.

Yea but look a the damage Diamler did to Chrysler by just owning it. I don't see that kind of damage to Ferrari with Fiat at the wheel.  :shruggy:

really? MB reinvents the Dodge Magnum?

The Euro car makers were building hi performance wagons waaay before the Magnum or the CTS-V wagon. I'd even venture to say that the Magnum was probably a take on those wagons. And let's not forget that the Magnum (and the 300 and Charger) are reskinned E-Class MBs

I see a couple of Vista Cruisers and a Pinto. Until cars start flying they are all going to look similar. :shruggy:
