I know exactly what this is, it's a Dodge Calibre.
I used to do roadside assistance on the weekends for a bit of extra cash.
I had a call out to one in a basement carport in a small apartment block.
I told the guy the price and said I can do the job, I had the battery.
Then when I realised where it was I had to jack the car up take the wheel off and change it over in a small dark carport.
I quit that job not long after.

Yes Fiat is part of Stellantis who owns Chrysler.
It used to be called Fiat-Chrysler.

Stellantis also bought 50% of Moto Mori off GM, which is why many Fiat and Chrysler diesel engines are also in GM cars, like the Colorado engine being the same as Jeep engines.

The Chrysler 3/4 Hemi, much more potent in my opinion.

Yep that's a 450hp non cross flow engine.

Came across one of those at the Hell's Gate Roadhouse ( NT/QLD border).
"Look, an Esky shaped like a coffin" caused a laugh for about 5>10 seconds, until we realised, it was a coffin.
