If GM got a bit of a kicking fom the Obama administration, how about Chrysler? The President’s team has said it doesn’t believe Chrysler can survive alone, so if it doesn’t finalise the deal with Fiat within the next 30 days, it gets no more Government money. Which would inevitably leave it bankrupt.
So, for the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=foreman.blogs.topgear.com&blog=4140443&post=875&subd=bbcforeman&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

This just dropped into Foreman’s inbox. Thought you’d like to see it ahead of the official reveal. It’s the Fiat 500 cabrio. Here’s the background.
Fiat was originally considering two possible designs for a soft-top. This one, which has a pair of fixed side rails, so it’s sorta like the original 500 or 2CV.
