Italian Technology Is Chrysler’s Hope for Revival - NYTimes.com: "This time around, the Italian automaker is hoping to make a more favorable and lasting impression on American consumers, with much-improved, fuel-efficient cars that could roll off the assembly lines of its new partner, Chrysler, in as little as 18 months.

Fiat technology — which President Obama praised on Thursday at a news conference at the White House — will go into new Chryslers, broadening Chrysler’s lineup to include small and midsize cars. At the same time, the Fiat Group will introduce a few of its own cars, including Alfa Romeos, that are available only in Europe now."
