johnny, did you know that fire extingishers of at least a certain size
are required on ALL automobiles regestered in Italy without regard to
their country of origin of history of catching fire? johnny, did you
know that this is because Fiat automobiles catch fire so frequently?

Not quite, Italy like all EEC countries requires all new cars after 1982
to carry a minumum of safety equipment, the content of which has
increased over the years but includes at least replacement bulbs for all
exterior lights, Warning triangle, first aid kit and yup, you guessed it
a fire extinguisher.


also, johnny, did you know the FTC sued Fiat for false advertising and
fraudulent sales because FIAT advertised and sold its products in the
USA as "automobiles", and as such -- the FTC claimed -- the American
public could reasonably expect to get something reasonably like an
automobile for its money.
The FTC won the suit.

According to Lexus Nexus there's no suit, got a reference. Sure you're
not confusing the FTC Automotive legislative fiat on advertising?
Different animal..



To the person who said ducati is a part of fiat, learn about
Italian Motorsports. Ferrari is a division of fiat, not ducati.

I appologize for not checking current sources. Ducati *was* a
division of Fiat. 'nuf said.


And what do you mean by nuf' said? Are you aware of the fact that
fiat also builds airplane engines. Fiat is the leading manufacturer in
Europe. And, you can take a little fiat 1.3 on the expressway and put
American cars to complete shame.

well, that is NOT what Fiat of American said.

but, who are they to know?

mikey, what "automobiles" -- besides Fiats -- catch fire in the Europen
Economic Union? Understand that Fiat is NOT sold in the US of A, and can not
be sold in the US of A.
