Stellantis to bring tiny Fiat car to US following Trump remarks

Story by Michael Wayland

DETROIT – Chrysler parent Stellantis on Monday announced it will offer an all-electric small "car" called the Fiat Topolino in the U.S.

The automaker did not announce timing for the vehicle, but Fiat CEO Olivier François confirmed plans to bring the vehicle to the market, with "more details to come next year."

Fiat's announcement comes less than a week after President Donald Trump praised small "Kei" cars from Japan during a meeting at the White House with Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa and other U.S. lawmakers and automotive executives.

"They're very small. They're really cute," Trump said during the Wednesday meeting. "And I said, 'How would that do in this country?' And everyone seems to think 'good,' but you're not allowed to build them."

Trump said he ordered U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy to allow small vehicles like the Kei "micro" cars to be built and driven in the U.S. It's not necessarily illegal to produce such cars in America, but they have to meet American safety standards, speed requirements and other regulations.

That POS will never be sold in America.
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

May be suitable for in town applications in some areas. Not likely to see them here.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
