Would these two vehicles, the Honda Fit (2015) and the FIAT 500, be built from the same chassis? Different engines, one’s Japanese developed and one is Italian - or it’s minor fine-tuning from the same base format? Most parts are produced elsewhere in the world but Japan or Italy? For consumers, I suppose the only differentiation is buying for the brand? Or, the design and style? (Putting price aside.) On a note, buying an entry-level vehicle now these days could be easy with $150 or more per month lease. For carmakers, the cost of global procurement of raw materials, manufacturing parts and some because it has to bear the label “Made in…”, the amount of transportation during this process (+) the final shipping to around the world with the end product - is it really that much of a cost saving to carmakers? ------------------------------------------------- References: YouTube: “FIAT 500 commercial everyday masterpieces” (youtu.be/iVRoq6QzUcQ) YouTube: “Biker, Fortune, Cup, Meerkat - Honda Fit - Commercial Ad” (youtu.be/wndLCyxcIKc) -------------------------------------------------
