Check out [this link](http://maps.google.com/maps?q=%22Volkswagen+Group+Sverige+AB,+Sodertalje,+Sweden,%22&ll=59.181717,17.586622&spn=0.004089,0.009634&sll=59.181551,17.586550&layer=c&cid=1362125120364416158&cbp=13,190.03,,0,0.14&cbll=59.181714,17.586626&hq=%22Volkswagen+Group+Sverige+AB,+Sodertalje,+Sweden,%22&t=m&z=17&panoid=ebSs3p7LrFFximxEf76g2g). It’s the Google Street View image of the Volkswagen Group’s headquarters in Sodertalje, near Stockholm, in Sweden. Apparently, a guy working for Fiat saw the Google image van doing the rounds in the area, and just before it got to the VW HQ, he managed to drive a Fiat up and park it in front of the main entrance. Pretty quick thinking. ---

Funny if true, which it most probably isn’t. According to both Fiat and VW (I think) it was just a coincidence.
