Fiat 500
The good news is that the Fiat 500 will only be available in the U.S. with a manual transmission. The bad news is that the Automatic is coming in several months. Article here if interested. http://www.torquenews.com/106/first-us- ... ssion-only

Re: Fiat 500
The cheapest Fiat 500 here (US$18,910) is almost as expensive as the most expensive model ($19,500) there :D
But why in the name of Zeus's butthole your 500 gets only 33 MPG in combined driving? That's not very good for a car as small as the 500 - while the EPA and EC1999/100 might give different results, I still doubt that if EPA tested the European 1.4-liter model, which gets 45 MPG in combined driving by our standards, it'd be that bad...

It looks like an Italian old man. Oh wait, it was designed in Italy. That figures.

Re: Fiat 500
I'd be interested to drive one (especially the Abarth version) but I don't think I could see myself buying one.
Two pedals, two feet, too easy.

There is. It's called the Abarth. It has a turbocharged engine and some fancy suspension bits.Chris H. wrote:The car looks a little funky to me…I wonder if there will be a performance version?
