Well, Chrysler is evaluating diesel-powered sedans (Bluetec); both Chrysler (and GM) might be well inspired to approach FIAT for their diesel engines. Even though Ford doesn't seem to think there is a market in the US for diesel , since they won't import or produce the 65mpg Fiesta diesel in the US , BMW, Mercedes, Audi, VW and Honda are planning to introduce diesel-powered cars in 2009.

Fiat signed an agreement to buy two-thirds of Zastava, Serbia's automaker, with the government of Serbia holding the rest of the shares.
