I ran across this interesting tidbit on leftlanenews.com. It would be interesting to see a Fiat built Mercedes A-Class in a few years. I also remember a rumor that Mercedes planned on bringing the A-Class stateside a while back.

Fiat, Daimler to partner to produce next-generation compact cars?

I read the same thing on Italiaspeed.com . It also looks like FIAT may get to use the new E class chassis. (Rear drive Alfa?)

I hope it works out.

I can only assume that this will mean an improvement in quality for all of Mercedes smaller vehicles. The Germans have a lot to benefit from Italian engineering.

I agree, too bad public perception is contrary
