.: The New Fiat 500 - Fiat :. Auto Spectator

The pics are so cute and the interiors are damn good. Will this make it to india ?

At the rate Fiat is going in India , am very very very doubtful if we will ever see that coming soon. ....need more proof ?....just visit another thread 'Scoop-Palio coming soon ...pics added '

Nice, they have managed a pretty sweet job with matching retro + modern looks. I especially like the interiors....very reminiscent of how things used to be in the good ol' days.

Nope. Even if Fiat India were to price it at a lac, their management skills would ensure its failure. Jokes apart, the high price tag would negate any potential in India.

Cool car. I like it.

Ajay_J · 21st March 2007, 20:04

Wow... nice car. Hope we get such cars in india soon and also hope they are affordable

really liked the car especially the interiors really neat and nice .

A landmark car for landmark company, although I thought the 500 looked to be on the feminine side - with those round headrests and overal iinterior color scheme

I guess this is the car Fiat jointly developed with Ford (For the forthcoming new gen Ford Ka)

Ford and Fiat Team up on new Fiat 500, Ka - Jalopnik

here's a small pic of the KA

The Fiat 500 is brilliant in a way typified by their recent resurgence. They are back to building beautiful cars. Bravo Fiat! Now, IF only the Tata-Fiat combine can click!

It's a very cute car. But I loved the old one more.
No hopes of this coming to India unless VW brings in Beetle.

Dippy · 21st March 2007, 23:29

Very nice looking car. Love those interiors and that Fiat badge on the steering looks so retro. I dont see this one coming to India though.

it's got a very cool retro feel just amazing,
the car does look like a beetle thou

and can anyone tell why its named the FIAT 500

sujaylahiri · 25th March 2007, 05:54

Looks like a chick car to me. Pretty rounded though.
Imagine how it's convertible version would look like.
