2010 Fiat 500 coming to Canada

Post by star_deceiver »

I'm hoping for the best here but part of me can't shake the feeling that Chrysler is going to create another Aztek!http://www.wheels.ca/newsFeatures/article/782833

...the Abarth model is gonna be a "killer" but I'm wanting to see the turbo-diesel model that's slated for 56 mpg!

Europeans have made as many version of the 500 as we have of the mustang. There are quite a few turbo 500 that are amazing little cars. But keep in mind that when european cars come to North America, we usually get stuck with only 1 or 2 basic engine choice and we never have the fun versions.

I actually kinda like it... Looks like it would be a fun little ride. I find the interior especially snazzy, it has this balance between high tech and looking like a model car. I wonder what the parts and maintenance costs are going to be for that thing?

I'll take the Fiat over a Fit anyday. The 500 weighs about 2200lbs, the Fit is 2500lbs, and the Vibe is 2900lbs. There is a 4 door 500 and 3 engine choices in Europe and IMO is styled much better then the Fit.Quote, originally posted by jake75 »Take your pick of a girl friend[ ] Nancy Pelosi look a like[ ] Taylor Swift look a likeA look-a-like?? Re-badged versions are never as good as the original! (I'll make an exception for Pelosi, you can't really go downhill from that...)

It seems that most older women get to where they don't care how they look. Is it any wonder why most older guys prefer younger ladies who still do care?
