You might be surprised at how much is produced in Italy. We used to snicker at Honda and Toyota we the first cars came over in the 60s but the joke turned out to be on us. My impression of Italian stuff was never good until I realized it was way better than some of the china imports. How times have changed. I have lots of tooling, saw blades and such made for the various brand names in Italy. Northern Italy has a lot of industrial capacity. Fiat builds or used to build very large construction equipment equal to any that other big names produced. The China factor (cost)may have changed all that, same as Cat and the rest. It will be interesting to see how both Chrysler and Ford make out with these new engines.
