...Think Chrysler Lite. "Fiat already has the lowest C02-emitting engines in Europe," says a Chrysler official privy to the product discussions, who asked not to be identified.

"We might not sell a minicar in the U.S., but we could sell it somewhere else." But there's a big potential U.S. play too: "We also have to worry about the new [fuel-economy] standards," he says...

A remake of Pelham One Two Three can duplicate the 1974 film's thriller ingredients: the criminal mastermind, the clock ticking toward certain doom, the runaway train, the ordinary man tapped for a suicidal mission. It just can't locate those conventions in a milieu with...
