I bet these aren't the first companies you would imagine cooperating.

It was sold from 1980 to 1982 in Sweden, Norway and Denmark.

It was that same partnership that spawned the Tipo-4 cars. The Saab 9000, Lancia Thema, Alfa 164 and Fiat Croma all ran on the same basic chassis design. The 600 was a rare beast, indeed.

Well, it was available in Norway, if they ever sold one.. well THAT is another thing entirely :P I can't remember seeing one ever. That said, I don't think it was any worse than the Alfa Romeo Arna :P '80s japanese body and stuff... with an '80s Italian engine, yeah sure that's a GREAT idea.

Edit: But do I ever want an Arna or a 600? HECK yes!!

Yeah, maybe I should have included the tipo-4 cars into the post as well.
