    Ok other than emails containing washed out, blurry cell phone pictures, has anyone been contacted by a Fiat Studio regarding the actually purchasing of their Prima Edizione? I haven't heard a peep. I'm not even sure what my "local" dealer would be (Salt Lake/Portland/Seattle?)!

    Here is a quote from a review that addresses this:

    "In fact, that was the response anywhere we stopped on our day-long drive. The car attracted a lot of interest when it was parked and thumbs-up signals while we zipped along the highway. It seems this Cinquecento strikes the same emotional cord as the original. As one onlooker said, 'It’s so cute you just want to hug it.' "

    true, like i said, i believe the NA market will find it a 'cute' car...i just mean that the 500 retro roots (from the original) will be lost to most of those buyers, is all......as opposed to europe where it's lineage is recognizable to the common buyer...because the original was & is seen, and familiar to them....that's all i meant

    Has anyone noticed that there are a few ads for the Fiat 500 floating around on FerrariChat? I think that is way cool and a very good sign.

    No national ads
    Without its full dealer network on board or a big marketing budget, Fiat initially will rely on Internet and event marketing to spread the word on the 500.
    "TV is an expensive proposition," Soave says.

    That's a matter of debate. Fiat says yes, but who knows?

    Yeah, have to sign our sales agreement with Fiat no later than December 31, 2010. Deliveries should start end of January or early February.




    Oh wait.
