Fiat 500: A special platform for U.S. market
March 18, 2010 at 12:00
Fiat is currently working to finalize a specific platform for the 500 will happen on the North American market in early 2011. Thus we learn that the platform will be different from that of our European 500 since, according to Inside Line, 500 U.S. based on the new platform coming Panda and Ypsilon.
The platform will use high-strength steels stronger than those used in Europe to better pass the crash tests by NHTSA. We also learn that the 500 U.S. will benefit Parents of 7 airbags including two front larger because the U.S., the wearing of seat belts is not mandatory. The rocker and the pavilion will also be much enhanced compared to what we have in Europe to better Reister rollover of the car.
Finally the 500 American could pass the name 500 of the Cinquecento, which is still amazing. It is not known if the Fiat in big changes in the structure of the 500 Ausi has plans to expand the 500 for carrying a small American family but it is still surprising. At Fiat it would take one of Bravo, change the front and rear, a gust of rebadging and the case was played with a nice big 500 U.S. Spec 5-door ... ... it would not cost more!
Wish success to this car on the U.S. market, which is not purchased!

March 29, 2010 at 23:48
And 500,000! The Fiat factory in Poland at Tychy is the 500,000 th to produce Fiat 500 after only 21 months of production. Great success for this little car all round and is charming, with the Panda and Punto Gde, the spearhead of the group's success in Turin.
The Fiat 500 is distributed in 83 countries and its main markets are Italy, which absorbs almost 50% of production with 244,755 sales, followed by France (58,425), to Great Britain (51,445), Germany (48,319) and then come order by the Netherlands, Switzerland, Spain, Belgium, Japan and Austria.
Small note to the attention of those who think that the Fiat 500 will blast off in the U.S. next year. For example, Japan absorbed in 2009, 9030 Fiat 500 for a car market of 4,518,547 cars. The Japanese market is strongly committed to small cars ... then how Fiat 500 U.S. 2011, 10,000, 15,000 or more?
In terms of small details, Fiat noted that 80% of the 500 are controlled by finishing Lounge or Sport. FIAT500 the community gathers to date about 120,000 fans who is featured on the dedicated website ( http://www.fiat500.com/). Finally, remember that the 500,000 th car built by the brave Polish employees of Fiat is a version 1.2 The Funk White 69 horses. The success should continue in the months and years to come with the arrival of the 0.9 L engine TwinAir EMS is really expected by customers. Below, the 500 version twin Geneva.
I hope that these images have allowed you to appreciate the new blue hue will happen at the same time as the new version of the 500.

Fiat 500C: The Aznom 500 Sassicaia for the love of wines from Tuscany! ... Unless it is for the promotion
April 1, 2010 at 13:01
This Aznom 500 Sassicaia is a special version, and only for the moment, the cute Fiat 500C which was manufactured to celebrate Tuscan wines. But if you are interested, know that you can buy this chic version of the 500 discoverable against a whopping € 7,900 plus the price of the 500C of course!
The 500C can be recognized by, among others, its two-colored painting that combines two shades of beige one in a matt, his coat matches the beige, its 16-inch alloy wheels (fitted with Kumho alas 195/45/R 16 because the manufacturer is a partner of the case), its logo in brushed brass inserts and woodlands.
Contrary to what one might suppose, the wood insert dashboard is real oak with the signature Sassicaia marked with a hot iron. Why the tree, just to remind the casks to age the wine of Tuscany.
It's also a very stylish interior tight leather and cloth stamped and embroidered logo of Sassicaia. Note also the combined instrument holder cap covered with two-tone leather and plastics that are no longer black but blue.
The Aznom (anagram of Monza) is also equipped with a full set of luggage (in the spirit Vuitton) leather and coated canvas. A proposal for a pleasant version 1400, but it will still order and above budget because nearly 27,000 € Sassicaia the 500C is not given even if you're a fan of the 500C and a connoisseur of Italian wines that count!
The gallery is here.
Although a bit expensive, this new model 500C really sticks in the image of the young Italian who made charming, fun and vision of any Italian luxury "affordable."
