Default My most anticipated car of the year!!

The new Fiat 500 Turbo!

Don't laugh!

I know what lots of people are going to say - but the first real traditional Hot Hatch in a good 15 - 20 years in my opinion. I'm really hoping its going to be a little gem.

As long as it doesn't weigh a ton (metaphorically) then it looks to be a winner

If it's half as good as Evo reckon the Panda 100HP is, it'll be great.

I'm slightly surprised no-one has asked me when I'm booked in for my sex-change operation given the responses you often get on here

But for those that haven't seen it.



Although the looks don't really matter

I thought your idea to buy a Wagon R was ridiculous given that they're crap and there's plenty better small, economical cars around, but the 500 looks brilliant, retro and modern at the same time. If they make it handle like a Ford Ka and go like an old R5 Turbo it'll be fantastic.

So when is the op?
