Cool little cars

I wasnt to keen at first, but talk about a grower! theres a white one near me that i see zooming about, it has a green and a red stripe down the sides and looks so cool, my mum has set her heart on one too
She's only ever owned classic shaped Mini's her entire life (cooper sport's mainly NOT the Bmw kind ) but i recon it will soon to be replaced by a 500

Looking forward to a drive of one

It's meant to disguise the shape and make it harder to interpret what the car will actually look like. Bugger knows if it works though!

Great car Clare - I love the 500 - such a cool car. I'm very tempted to get the Abarth SS version when it comes out

The press team at Ferrari UK all have 500s (with little black prancing horse stickers on the side) - says a lot about these cars!

No it doesn't say anything about the cars. What it does say is that Fiat who own Ferrari are not stupid when it comes to marketing.

That looks superb.

It also looks more like a Punto than a 500

Honestly I think they are bloody great looking things. The Arbarth one sounds fantastic and hats off to Fiat for taking what BMW have done with the Mini and improving on it. Great ownership proposition, I'd say! Get one in white though, Claire

Well no - they were free to choose just about any car in from within the Fiat stable (apart from the very high end stuff) and they chose the 500 Abath.

Bit late, I've already got the red one. They had a white one, but the red one had better features and lower mileage.

Love the blue & me bluetooth, it's wicked!
