FIAT 500L - first official photos...
« on: February 02, 2012, 02:13:37 pm »


Like the FIAT 500 but need more space and doors?  This is supposed to be heading to North America...  Will be made here in Serbia.

Interesting. Doesn't look anything like I would have expected a four-door 500 to look like, but it's not bad. They definitely need to bring this to North America. While I think they're doing okay in Canada, FIAT is really struggling in the U.S. Their initial sales goals (50k 500s a year) were very lofty and ultimately unattainable.

At first I scoffed at the idea but now that I've seen it. They did a really good job making a "big" 500.

The original '57 Fiat 500/600 had a big brother as well.

You'd prefer 500XL?  ;)

I would have revived the Giardiniera name...  FIAT were afraid of re-using Multipla because of the association with the recent odd-looking car of the same name...

Now that the 500 became practical enough for a family to own they should sell a lot more of them here. Easy on the eyes design too.
