A cute retro car from FIAT

Crave: The gadget blog - Posts in Cars:
"Fiat's launch of its new 500 model will make fans of Italy in the 1950s, those who dream of Sophia Loren riding a Vespa, as happy as the new Mini made Anglophiles. Fiat combined the new trend toward city cars and retro design to come up with this new version of its iconic car. The original Fiat 500 was launched on July 4, 1957, and the new 500 was launched exactly 50 years later. Fiat takes a page from Mini by offering the 500 with all sorts of cosmetic accessories, including checker patterns for the roof. "

This is probably a more reliable car than the original, but that may not be saying much. Don't look for one of these in the US. Fiat failed in the US market years ago.
