At the end of the day, they are still Fiats IMO. Much like Saab is still GM, Volvo is still Ford (for now), and Jaguar is now Tata.

I don't know if I could say that any cars in the Fiat line-up are Ferarris at the end of the day.
THe closest would be the 500 Abarth SS with 160hp. That is a car I would love to drive around a track. | |

Didn't say Fiat is a Ferrari. Said Ferrari is a Fiat. Considerable difference in those statements.  | |

I skimmed the comments for the article. Somebody mentioned finding similar attached weights on the rear suspension of a Mustang.  | |

On a somewhat related note, I did once have an OEM rim on an Audi that kept throwing balance weights. I and the shop got so tired of dealing with it that the tire tech actually epoxied a weight inside the rim. | |

Brake weights? They look to be lead weights epoxied to the calipers! Seriously. What engineer cooked up this supposed solution? Does he/she not have any idea what usually happens to epoxy after being heat cycled a few times. | This is going to be par for the course for Guvmint Motors.
