My bet is No.
Recent history has shown that sales of small European cars will not thrive in North America.
Take for example similar cars: Vauxhaul, Citroen, Merkur, and Peugeot. Only a relatively small number of these brands were bought when they did exist here, and generally by people who liked to obscurity of owning something different. In my opinion their downfall was their mechanical quirkiness and availability of repair parts. If Chrysler can't keep domestic parts producers in business, they are going to have a heck of a time importing parts for all these Fiat models. And, good luck trying to find a non-dealership mechanic who knows how fix one.
The sale of Chrysler to Fiat is only prolonging the inevitable, which is the demise of Chrysler.
