Large, spacious, four door & powerful..... Not as if Fiat do anything in this league, Alfa or any other Italian marque... I don't see they had any real choice; they would have been lambasted if they'd bought Volvos or Jags I'm sure...

You can all breath a sigh of relief as they were all paid for out of the 2008 - 9 budget, which effectively means they were paid for with borrowing as, like everyone else, they were running a budget deficit. So in fact the Italian banks bought the cars, the same banks that will shortly be required to write down a large proportion of their unreturned lending, so in fact they're free!!
