Fiat 500

Post by Portland »

Resurrected tonight.

Obviously, there will be an Abarth version. Speculation is there will be hot Abarth tuned to c. 180 bhp in a rollerskate.

That's unfair. I had one on my birthday too.


Mind you, that was April. :lol:

There used to be an old Fiat 500 sitting on my grandparent's drive when I was a nipper. I spent many a happy afternoon sitting behind the wheel, pretending to drive it and beeping the horn (for some reason the horn worked without the engine being switched on).

That's normal behaviour in plenty of different makes and models.

I thought that was a legal requirement (in this country)?

Glad it nearly here. It'll look better with all that shitty gaffer tape taken off it. I like it, it's a nicely retro style modern car. Better the Seicento, one of which which I've owned in the last 2 years. Been waiting for this since I saw the first 'proof on concept' pics in Auto Trader. :)

My parents had a 500 and I had a Fiat 126, which is actually a 70s version of the 500, so I have some fond memories of those tiny and notoriously unreliable cars :lol:

The new 500 is stunning, perfect retro design, even the interior looks great. According to a car mag I read some weeks ago even the build and material quality seems to be great, which is all but naturally. :roll: :lol:

Must admit it looks great, heh it looks soo boy-racer though!

It's just a pity it's French. The French seem to do lots of fantastic looking cars but from what I've heard reliability is invariably pretty shoddy.
