Can Fiat deliver the smaller, greener cars it needs to appeal to shifting American attitudes? The future looks bleak. The financial and political events of the past year have spawned a refor- mation in the automotive landscape not seen since the Japanese first arrived in the US. Entrepreneurs are once again dreaming of building the next Model T or Bug. Future Driven by a new CEO, sweetheart status as the last man standing, and a strong European product line being imported to the US, Ford's future looks the brightest. Expect strong sales as the economy recovers. A leaner, meaner GM hopes to com- pete with a laser focus on its strongest brands; Chevy for the masses, Buick for China expansion, and Cadillac for the status-seekers wooed by Lexus and Mercedes. With improving quality standards and fresh new designs, GM may be on the way back. Mint.com/blog WallStats.com
