Weight savings or weight balancing. Or maybe it’s....
It’s that extra bit of passion that makes it imperfect and better. Or is that an Alfa Romeo thing only?

I didn’t know FCA was poaching ex-Tesla factory workers.

*Thinks about making joke about lazy American Unionized workers*
*Realizes the car is probably made here*
*Googles car; it’s made 40 miles from where I live*
*Has an existential crisis about globalization and how it improves/ worsens lives*
*Drinks way too much, falls asleep*
*Wakes up and thinks of something to say*
Its made here, just let me tell Manuel to take more care when putting it together!

I hate to admit that ‘they’ are right, but, yeah; if that’s a Jeep Thing, I >don’t< understand!
Would love to hear a fan boy try to explain how that’s not a bug but a feature

The biggest piece of crap I’ve owned to date is an award-winning Honda built by non-union workers 40 miles from my home in Alabama.
Second place: Puebla Golf, 1995.
I know that feel.

Our 500L had better build quality than this.
So.........FCA Italy/Fiat Serbia has better build quality than FCA ‘Murica/Mexico/Canuck?

The big panel gaps are for off-roading, bruh!

Isn’t all the stamping and panel shaving/trimming automated? Those are rather hazardous tasks easily done by robots. This is the kind of build quality you’d expect if the panels were hand-trimmed.
Unless they were actually hand-trimmed...cue horror movie soundtrack.

“FCA Italy/Fiat Serbia has better build quality than FCA ‘Murica/Mexico/Canuck?”
Plausible. Serbia has to cater to the more critical EU market while FCA NA does not. It’s A reason why, traditionally, NA market cars weren’t taken seriously in Europe. Especially 10+ years ago.
