Joe, Joe, Joe -

Doncha' know, if GM is at all involved in the design, the motor will be
cast iron, with pushrods.  The transmission will be Muncie 4-speed, but
will option a turbo-hydro 3-plus-overdrive.  Or will that be standard
auto with a five speed stick optional.  And the final drive.  LIVE
axles, my friends.  As FoMoCo once upon a time put in their Pinto ads,
bragging about a "Hotchkiss axle"!  Like, wow, dudes.

But seriously, Fiat has a parts bin that would likely equal the size of
the General's.  Likely be able to find all sorts of neat hardware to
assemble a fine car, with the design of the skin coming from any of a
number of GREAT houses that dot the landscape over there.  (Gads, that
sounds great!)

Time will tell, no?

here's hoping

>>Well, it's official. I have my hopes up for a Brera (or Brera-lite). I
just hope Sandro manages to sneak in a DeDion in there...
