Fiat has been around a very long time – since 1899 in Italy and 1908 in the U.S., long before Chrysler vehicles were produced in 1925. However, many Americans today are just starting to know and recognize the Fiat brand, since Fiat just returned to the U.S. in 2009, after a 25-year absence. Fiat returned to the U.S. after becoming part of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and has now introduced several versions of the Fiat 500.
