Fiat Strada Gets Rave Reviews From Scribe

Our friends at Autoblog had one of their european writers take a first drive in a new Fiat Strada — the micro-pickup usually seen in and around South America — through the beautiful northern Italian landscapes … and he loved it. 

Matt Davis says he's just old enough to remember vehicles like the VW Rabbit and Subaru Brat and believes that the little Strada, depending on what Fiat wants to do with the engine, could find a nice niche in the U.S. market.

And to gauge your reaction, they're even conducting an informal poll where you can vote in one of three ways: Yes, the U.S. is in desperate need of a small pickup now that Ford Ranger ditched us; No, we said we wanted a small pickup, not a small car with an open truck; or I don't know.
