really. i'd been pondering trying to tough it out with the somewhat tired
1991 164 automatic until 2007, but it looks like next fall i'll be researching
mid-to-late-90s bimmer sedans as my next 4 season car.[1]

i think that as a business decision, what Fiat is doing makes perfect sense.
they most assuredly shouldn't reenter a market with which they've always 
had trouble while they're in trouble in markets where they have a more
positive history.

sigh,

[1] we will, of course, be keeping the 1974 GTV and 1982 GTV-6
as 3 season cars, and the 1976 Alfetta Sedan as the once-and-future
SCCA race car
