Maybe someone should have taught Betty Furness a little Italian so she could say "You can be sure if it's Fiat" in the proper language!
It shouldn't be surprising that Fiat would make appliances; after all they've made lots of non-automotive products for years and have the industrial strength to do pretty much whatever they want. I just wish Fiat still sold cars here in the US! I got rid of my last Fiat (an '87 X1/9) six years ago when it had over 180,000 city miles and I couldn't depend on finding OEM parts on an timely basis. It was replaced by a new VW that at 108,000 miles has had way more problems than either Fiat that preceeded it. Plus, Fiats are simple and easy to repair, not something I'd say about a lot of cars.
