What would your neighbors think if you planted a 500 in your front yard?

I hope not. Doesn't seem to make any sense, when they are trying to re-establish Fiat, to dilute things by making a Dodge version. Some other Fiat would seem more appropriate (Punto?).

 

Chrysler's actually making a profit. If they take the chassis of the 500 and do a different body, I can see a small Chysler working.

As long as they make some money, pay back the loan, and make some great cars I'm happy.

 

Someone at the office zip-tied a clown horn to the side mirror today. Need to pull the security video and have a word with HR on Monday...

 

No pics?

 

IL bought one for a long term evaluation. Tops out at 122 mph.

You're braver than me! I would have thought you'd have run out of gas first before hitting 122.

 

I love the car, but I'd not want to go over 90 in it.

Saw my first 500 tonight, a black one. Very sharp, but my wife called it a "clown car."

She married me so her taste has always been questionable.

Awesome!!

(Is that a Mulsanne Turbo perchance?)

 

No, a Mulsanne S: Turbo R minus the turbo (they drive ~90% the same).

 

The local Napa that delivers parts to our shop just picked up a Fiat 500 for a delivery car.

 

Very nice!

I guess the media push is underway as there was an article in today's USA Today as well: http://www.usatoday.com/money/autos/reviews/healey/2011-05-19-test-drive-fiat-500_n.htm
