It’s called the Cinquecento in Italy, but the Fiat 500 spells cheeky fuel-saving funster in any language. Of all many new arrivals from the revitalized Chrysler organization, the one car on everyone’s mind is the Italian designed, built-in-Mexico Fiat. The original 500 dates back to 1957 and was Fiat’s way to get Italians off their Vespa motor scooters and into a more practical four-wheeled conveyance. At the time, French, German plus other European automakers were busy ramping up production of their own tiny cars, a pattern that the British would also follow with the advent of the Mini in 1959. The Mini’s successful 2003 relaunch under BMW’s direction set the stage for a similar return for a brand new Fiat 500 that arrived in Europe for 2007 following a three decade absence. It’s now set to debut here as a 2012 model. (LAST UPDATED DEC. 2010). By Malcolm Gunn, Wheelbase Media.
