Good to hear; look at the alloy wheels on page 3, looking really awesome.
What's good to read is...

Pricing won't be announced until Wednesday, but Fiat said the 500 will be "significantly less" than iBMW AG's Mini Cooper, a similar car, which starts at $20,000

And look at the age of leadership guy, should be very talented.

Yes Fiat is launching their 500 and they were present at the LA auto show.

LA Auto Show
Strategically, this is the right time by Fiat for a move on the U.S market. With Chrysler group under their wings, Fiat will have the advantage of a fully capable delaer network spread all over U.S and a production facility for the 500 in Mexico.
As per the current info Fiat has made lot of changes from the EU model including a 1.4l engine made in US with 101 hp and 133 nm torque, a new six speed auto box, larger fuel tank, improved body stiffness, revised suspension, updated heating and colling system, better brake system, new audio controls on steering wheel and a new Bose audio system.
AFAIK, Fiat 500 is among the most trusted "every day use" car in UK.
I wonder why it is positioned very differently in India!
