Alright, here’s the rules. FCA is now run by Akio Toyoda, build quality and reliability are top notch for the whole range but nothing else has changed. You can have up to 5 cars but no one car can exceed $75k msrp.
Which FCA products are you going to have in your garage?

I am able to imagine an altered reality to a certain extent, but not so much that FCA products are as reliable as Toyotas. Current owner to boot.
That said, my truck would be much better with a Maserati parked next to it.

5) Viper since it’s the cheapest sports car FCA makes.

Should have your folks look at the new Acadia. My wife and I really liked it but it’s too big for our needs, we’re waiting for the new Equinox/Terrain. The Buick Envision is nice too, but my wife didn’t like the styling (still old buick front)

4. A Compass For the family car/wife’s car Probably a Limited I don’t think she’d have any interest in a Trailhawk.
5. Fiat 500e it just sounds fun. The wife would probably take it more than the Compass.

Lancia Thema (old stock)
Fiat Ducato? (I ran out of inspiration)
I can only get new Dodge, Ram and Chrysler vehicles as grey market imports here, so they could be options but I couldn’t care less about trucks and muscle cars so no loss there. Jeeps are available normally but that brand only offers crossovers and the Wrangler, so no Jeeps on my lists.
