FCA is a market leader. Yes, there are two brands but they are clear market leaders.

In the future we will see a lot of new Fiats for the Brazilian market and even one Jeep. This Jeep will not be offered in the North America.

Honestly, I just want to see a sporty Fiat coupe for Brazil (of some description). Then again, I'm always up for a small, fast coupe. Haha!

If that one Jeep is going to be something like a Suzuki Jimny but for Brazil then I can't wait!
 
I don't think that Brazilians are interested in Coupes. Coupe market is... Well, English language area like US and UK.

Suzuki Jimny? Not, and that one is a BOF design. Most likely a Low D segment 3 row SUV.

Yeah, it was just a pipe-dream at best.

Mmmm, I see. It'll be interesting to see how that turns out.
 
Considering that GM doesn't know how to make money if it doesn't involve making a big pick-up truck, if they leave South America as a playground for FCA then that region has everything to become the second most profitable one for FCA.
