new fiat 500

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

Hmm, let us have a piccie then shall we?

Surprisingly, I couldn't find a 5 door version of the Ford-badged one. But what's its point? Surely you'd be better of with the Panda, which comes with back doors and costs less?

Just don't, whatever you do, look up the 5 door version of the Aston Martin Cygnet/Toyota IQQ, it's a proper minger! :o

I always thought the Multipla one of the most beautiful cars ever built, in spite of its looking like it was back-to-front. The current 500 would have crushed one of those poor wee things if it had tried to get across it!

Hang on, an excuse to post a picture of a Multipla, I always respond to such temptation:

Ugly? Why do people think that? They're all wrong! 8-)

Admittedly you'd want to avoid having a big collision in one though.

I'd roll in that. :D OK, so it looks like the lovechild of a Chrysler Neon and a lettuce frame but a 7 year old, low mileage Dizzler for that sort of cash seems fair.
