Fashion sense is a cycle.. nowadays, ppl start to prefer the 80’s fashion.
And this car may aim for those ppl..
Back to topic, this car look cute and it quite suitable to female driver.

This is nice! Very cute and charming little car. Like muflis said, it looks a bit like the Gino with some classic rivival touch.
But I doubt its gonna be cheap, most likely on the same premium price tag as mini.

Im a big fan of the classic 500. I love this car!

Top Gear magazine once voted the original Fiat 500 as the sexiest car ever. Debatable yes, but they do have a point. The Fiat 500 is an icon and I like this new one.

Another Mini in the making? What’s with retro cars these days? Not that i am against reviving icons so that the younger generations (like myself) can taste the glory again. But somehow is feel more like money making scheme (what isn’t) and it leaves me to wonder for example like BMW how long more can they reinvent the mini, when the first mini they came out with is already so good? Surely they won’t just let it die whilst sacrificing a huge chunk of sales?
Anyway the Fiat 500 reminds me of a Cherry QQ. Fiat is producing very interesting products these days. This maybe another one of them. I am not holding my breath as to whether it will come to Malaysia.

I’m in love! I’ve always like the old one, and this one is so much cuter! Judging by the lack of a front grille, it’ll probably be a RR like the old one. Acceleration’s gonna be good on the turbodiesel since Fiat don’t need fuel pumps, and the suspensions gonna be very good too! I want one!

i have seen this new fiat design 2 years back in the new strait times CBT.the interior in the CBT is more futuristic .with lights that glow everywhere.it does not use buttons .it uses a light touch to turn on things suchas headunit n much more.

steel wheel look alike design will give batter feel of retro i guess, since side view looks nothing but modern,

[...] is a presentation that Fiat prepared for the Fiat 500 launch. The tagline seems to be “The Fiat 500 Wants You”. Video [...]

As a proud owner of a Fiat 600D, I would like to say that Fiat is best known for making incredible small cars. As associated with other older Fiat products, mine have problems too like RUST, brake failure and the driveshafts broken down for unknown reasons, but for those have driven old Fiats before, they will know the experience of driving a Fiat is something you can’t find anywhere. It seems like they have moved the ignition switch away from the middle of the dashboard and Fiat also seems to forget to include a canvas top in the new 500 lol

A 500 cabriolet is probably in the works.
