What do you think it was about the show that kept the fans coming back? I have no idea. But I'm so glad they did. I mean, we always joke that no matter where they put the show - whether it's Saturday morning after cartoons or after Carson Daly on weeknights - no matter where they put it, the same audience followed us.

Though Fiat is an acronym for Fabrica Italiana Automobili Torino (Italian Car Factory of Turin), many older Americans joke that it really stands for Fix It Again Tony. Plagued by chronic breakdowns, Fiat left the American market in 1983 with it's reputation badly tarnished. But Fiat underwent its own transformation after Sergio Marchionne became CEO of the automaker in 2004 and ushered in new talent and technology. Though facing its own financial troubles, the Italian automaker has since been impressing consumers...
