Yes, but the CEO is only one part of the equation. There is a common misconception that CEOs drive the business in a top-down manner. CEO ends up being a referee of sorts for all of the VPs dukeing it out with competing plans. There are a bunch of folks in Turin, from Italy and Europe, trying to make a plan for North America.

It will do well in Europe because people have great memories of the original 500. The Abarth 500's were Fiat's Mini Cooper in those days and a riot. Here it won't have that sentimental advantage and will have to make it on its merits. As a former owner of two sixties vintage Mini Coopers, I like it. Would I buy it? No, but I wouldn't buy a Fit or Yaris either. Not in the market for a vehicle that small these days.
Had a 124 TC sedan once. The body was a tin can but it had a sweet little twin cam engine, nice gear box, good handling and four wheel disc brakes when they were only found on expensive cars.
