The following is a breakdown of the product mix for North America from the merged Chrysler Fiat according to Kicking Tires. com:

Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep Lineups
Chrysler hasn’t announced which cars will remain in its 2011 lineup, but a few weeks ago we made our best guesses about which cars will remain.

• Chrysler 300
• Chrysler Sebring
• Chrysler Town & Country
• Dodge Charger
• Dodge Challenger
• Dodge Dakota
• Dodge Durango
• Dodge Grand Caravan
• Dodge Journey
• Dodge Ram
• Jeep Grand Cherokee
• Jeep Patriot
• Jeep Wrangler

Fiat in the U.S.
Fiat’s small cars will plug a gaping hole in Chrysler’s lineup. However, it will take time to adapt Fiat’s cars to meet U.S. emissions standards and safety requirements; Fiats were last sold in the U.S. in 1983. Some experts say we can expect to see Fiats here again by the end of 2010. According to published reports, here are the Fiat cars that are projected to come stateside.

• Fiat 500: This subcompact hatchback, which some suggest could be called the Chrysler 500, is 6 inches shorter than a Mini Cooper.
• Fiat Bravo: This small wagon, which looks like a Pontiac Vibe, could become the Chrysler Bravo.
• Fiat Panda: This popular European minicar features a hatchback and four-wheel drive.
• Alfa Romeo MiTo: This stylish two-door can be had with a turbocharged engine.
• Alfa Romeo 147: This hatchback is aimed at small families and could replace the Dodge Caliber.

I’m not sure why everyone is in love with the Fiat MiTo.

    I love the Mito because it's a departure from the same old boring boxes produced in Detroit and Japan.

      I'm not so sure about the MiTo..But, I've driven a different Alfa (I wish I could remember the model) in Europe and it was really sharp.

    Thing is, that is not a Fiat, but an Alfa Romeo Mito. And as long as you Americans produce all these monsters that you have the idea that represent cars, the mito would be faster, prettier and much, much better car from any U.S. build one. See? You did tha mistake, by calling an Alfa as a Fiat. Now, just go out and ask how the rest of the world sees everythin' you do pal.
