    Anyone else here think it'd be cool if the "grassroots marketing campaign' included racing or rallying them?

    Dunno, but at least one 500 displayed at SEMA has Mopar parts on it......



    ....that just doesn't seem right.

    And likely there are Fiat PR people checking in too. Wish I would have more than a week's notice to make it to LA, have two massive presentations due later next week, timing sucks for me.

    If anyone does make it to LA, please report back here!
    One thing still not clear is what color interior. I heard all black (except the dash which is body color).

    I also see that lots of people are saying the gray looks good. I went with red, because every other 500 I see is white, so I wanted something different (though white looks good).
    Gray is tempting as well, as it is classy (though doesn't pop so much..see photo below).
    I like red, but I am disappointed it will be a pearlescent rather than solid. Oh well, a nice problem to have.

    I'll probably pop over during the week of the 21st.

    Gosh I hope they get their act together and have some information for a change. I still don't know which dealer to contact.

    Saw a new Fiat 500 and the next Charger (both with Michigan plates) on Alligator Alley here in South FL last Friday. Really cool looking car, can't wait for the Abarth...

    After a 25 year absence, Fiat returns to the U.S. with the truly unique Fiat 500. Designed and built through Chrysler Group, LLC to expand their small product offerings, the Fiat 500 takes original Italian design and blends safety and comfort features tailored to North America.

    With its City-friendly proportions and iconic Cinquecento (500) cues, the car is wrapped in modern Italian styling that conveys simplicity and strength. The Cinquecento is the automotive equivalent of the iPod - sleek, simple, functional, user-friendly and inspired. With the lowest C02 emissions among Europe´s best-selling automotive brands, the Fiat 500 is equipped with an in-line four cylinder Fully Integrated Robotized Engine (FIRE) featuring Chrysler´s exclusive MultiAir ™ system. The Fiat 500 will be available in 14 colors, including three colors inspired by the vintage appeal of the first Fiat 500.

    Thanks for posting this.

    The "three colors inspired by the vintage appeal of the first Fiat 500."

    Is that the Prima Edizione colors?

    I'd rather have Rosso Dino myself :)

    I doubt it. "Primas" are metallic and pearlescent, I think. They refer to the colors coming out later.
