Somehow, I like the name "IVECO" more than "FIAT". Maybe I hung around
cars for too many years. :-)

FIAT also owns most of the ag machinery manufacturers in the US. now
the conglom. is known as "Agco". I wonder what will happen if FIAT
decides to do what they did to Allis Chalmers back in the 80's. Not
just shut down, but pull out and head back to Italy. left many dealers
high and dry. no parts backing etc.
