Nothing can express, their aversion against innovation as Fiat CEO statement: "Please don't buy Fiat 500e electric car".
They only made Fiat 500 electric to fulfill regulation requirements, so they can sells more of 130 years tech, which is cheaper then investing into new clean tech . Only Tesla's success, made them finally innovate. I personally consider this attitude arrogant and would never buy product from such a company.
