It's not really the number of cars that caused GM to fail but the fact they made too many big gas guzzlers that because of the credit crunch and high fuel prices nobody wanted where the reasons for the failure (it also didn't help that they flew to Washington in the company private jet to ask for money to save the company).

Rubberducky loves water on its back - the Fiat is another matter - no seriously I have had 3 Fiats over the last 25 years and they have all been exceptionally reliable mechanically - though I have generally had Ford because they are cheap to run - and I am nothing if not cheap :Very Happy

Yep having too replace every panel on a fiat is mega expensive because they rust and turn RED like mick hucknalls hair!. Now that is scary!.
