as the thread title they are testing the 500 on Fifth gear tonight if it interests any one

Excellently timed, thanks

winner!

happy with that, disappointed they didnt have an SS though

Repeated Saturday at 10.00am on Five for those that missed it.

i saw the appollo s too
weight of a mini, with 700bhp!
carbon fibre and gullwing doors! mmmm
and a boot

I did not like the little 500's colour scheme. The red stripe made it look rubbish. Pleased with the report though, they really liked it which was good to hear.

I loved it, colours and all. How much will these be going for?

It's the only new Fiat I would buy.

It's made me even more tempted to get one now. With me just getting a new (far better paid) job too, its looking as though a Brand New 500 would go down a treat

Thing is, do I wait until the Abarth version is out...

hasnt the clip been posted on youtube yet?, i kinda saw it at work, but couldnt see it all, looked v nice tho!

The little 500 looked great! Looked even better in decent quality video... ahhh tempting!

im sure it's a great car and all, and im a longtime fiat fian, having owned a seicento and 2 pandas......but i saw it on fifth gear and it just looked gay. id actually be faintly embarrassed to be driving around in one of these.

sorry fiat - make me a panda abarth over one of these anyday!

who cares what people think!! i think it looks brilliant, i wouldn't be ashamed of driving around in it at all. i suppose thats the beauty of the car, i mean can you imagine the look on half the numptys faces in there corsas or saxos when you burn them off completely in your 500 Abarth

each to there own i suppose...

fair enough i suppose...but i guess ive moved beyond buying a car to imagine looks on numptys faces when i burn them off

I definately sense an anti 500 vibe from a lot of Panda owners who commonly describe the 500 as effeminate as opposed to the macho Panda!
