Hundreds of pages of Chrysler’s bankruptcy documents have been scoured by Edmunds Inside Line, and they have revealed which Fiat and Alfa Romeo vehicles will make the trip to America to be sold by the merged company.  The documents state that only cars in size segments not currently offered by Chrysler will be sold in America, so only the smallest Italian models will be sold in the U.S.

The models listed by the bankruptcy documents are the Fiat 500, Fiat Panda (revealingly referred to as the Jeep Panda), Fiat Grande Punto, Alfa Romeo Mito, Alfa Romeo Milano 940 and a sedan based on the Fiat Evo platform.

Of those, only the Fiat 500 stands out as something we’ll be excited to see in America.

    […] Parent company Fiat has not announced plans for who exactly will be selling Alfa Romeo cars in the U.S., but Autoblog expects that Chrysler dealerships would be happy to have an exciting new brand to add to their lineups.  It was previously believed that Alfa Romeos brought to America would be rebadged as Chryslers.
