Still, other Fiats in Europe are nothing more than a rebadged Dodge Journey and Dart. But why not offer Americans other models without the 500 name? What's wrong with variety? Surely Fiat has the ability to be competitive, and there's definitely room for the Punto in the US; just look at the strong selling Ford Fiesta. Fortunately, we have very good reason to hope. Word has it that the upcoming fourth-gen Mazda MX-5 won't serve as the basis for a new Alfa Romeo Spyder after all. Instead, it may become a Fiat Spyder. That would definitely be a good start.
