The Ford Transit Connect may presently have no direct competitor in North America, but that won’t be the case for long. In fact, Chrysler confirmed today that the Fiat Doblo will be sold in the U.S. and Canada by no later than 2013. The move is hardly surprising, considering many — even within Chrysler itself — have hinted that the Doblo would join the Ram portfolio in due time. Chrysler’s product plan, revealed during a marathon press conference held in late 2009, suggests a Fiat-sourced small commercial van would be imported into our market by 2012.
That prognostication wasn’t far off. Chrysler still intends on importing the Doblo into North America, much like Ford does with the Transit Connect. As a result, Fiat announced today it signed a letter of intent with its Turkish assembly partner — TOFAS — to prepare for the new export business. Fiat expects to send 190,000 Doblos our way over the next seven years. To accommodate the extra volume, Fiat and TOFAS are giving the Doblo’s production line in Bursa, Turkey, a $160 million makeover.
What hasn’t been announced are details pertaining to the Doblo itself. Like the Transit Connect, the vanlet is available overseas in several different forms and with several different powertrain options (including small-displacement diesels). We wouldn’t be surprised if Chrysler borrows a page from Ford’s book and restricts just what configurations do end up crossing the pond.

And I thought the Nissan NV was ugly... for the FIAT D'oh-blow
