Worry not. Cha cha cha azure (Light Blue) it says on nf500.com.The info comes from sales manager of WessexGarages the Fiat dealers in Gloucester so it must be right:rolleyes:.


There again yellow and silver/grey ones have been seen RHD in UK v.recent so what the ---- are they if customers cars aint coming until March now?

Also if that info is right, there's no 1.2s for us to rag around.
Do they think we are all made of fappin money?

get the 1.4, you know you want to :D

mind you, the smaller the engine, the more you can thrash it and feel like your going fast when your not, meaning you stay on the right side of the law :rolleyes:
 
Not sure we are getting the chance of trying a 1.2 so they won't sell many IMO. I deffo want a play in the different ones before I choose one, whether I am paying for it all myself or whether its a subsidised company car.:)

Shiggy says his dealer is/was getting a POP a lounge and a sport. Dont know how true that is. Where are you shiggy?:confused:

Shiggy has ordered 2 remember - i of the 500x500 cars and one other. 4 days ago he was expecting to get them both for jan 21. I want to know if that has changed now. If it has some peeps are not going to be pleased at waiting til 1 March.:devil:
 
i will have to wait till after the christmas period but my dealer said around a week ago that they were defo' in build for 21st delivery.

havent heard about the demos though they were delayed in shipping, they havent called to say they have them though. i aint even driven a 500 yet just sat in a left hooker in italy.

Many of the dealers seem to have their 1.4 Red Sport and their 1.4 White Lounge but there's no sign of a 1.2 anywhere.Has anybody found a (RHD) 1.2 Pop or Lounge at a UK dealership yet?
 
Best of luck with finding a 1.2 Kevin.
All 1.3 and 1.4 demos coming round Yorkshire, except stoneacrefiat branches who deny having any at all, even tho they are hidden round the back:devil:

Kevin you could see if car salesmen pwig and TheBeast and Maz at Gainmanor have sold both of the 'additional 2' January cars at their garages. Loooks like between now and 21 jan each garage gets its 3demos and the 2 additional cars dealers ordered for Jan.Customers with money who have ordered the cars, some of them ordered months ago will prob have to whistle until March or April.:eek:

Fiat Autos - What a cr-p way to run a distribution network.:bang:
Am thinking of going back to a Mini dealer next weekend see if they still talk more sense.

Incredible isn't it? Just joined up and the first thread I read has a sarcastic comment about me in it! :mad:
 
Our Pasadoble Red 1.4 Sport and Bossa Nova White 1.4 Lounge are already in (in fact the Sport is PDI'd, taxed and on my drive as we speak! :cool: ) but nobody seems to know when the Cha Cha Cha Azure 1.3 Lounge's are coming :(

Why?

Becuase I haven't seen one in the flesh yet and I want to see one! I saw Mo a couple of weeks back looking at Pandas, but thought I may as well hang on and see what the 500 is like :)
 
I'm surprised he hasn't called you to get you in for a test-drive.

We're still under orders from our Zone Manager to keep them tucked away until the launch, but you're more than welcome to come down and have a look and a drive (in the 1.4 Sport) whenever you fancy.

Chesterfield Autoworld have a 1.4 Sport you can drive - I did so on Friday! It's a bit nearer you Joshua, if you're interested. If you do, ask for Jonathan, as he's the salesman running the Sport as his car.

bugger that. I went on the main road within a few metres of Autoworld the other day.Are they really selling a Red 1.4 sport for 21 jan deliv (at an inflated price I bet) or is that just to get you to go and visit. Dude I spoke to wasnt johnathan though.:(
 
They're not selling the 1.4 Sport as far as I know - it's a demo car being run by the salesman that they're using for test drives. They also have a 1.4 Lounge in the showroom you can look at. Not sure what made you think they were selling it? From what I overheard whilst waiting for the test drive, the sales folk are being very honest with prospective buyers about delivery dates. As I've said previously, I'm hoping for delivery of my 1.4 Sport on 21st Jan, as it's my birthday, but I'll believe it when I see it. Not sure if I've offended you in some way, to result in your post?
 
Sorry, another dealer in derbysh were saying they had a 1.4 sport for jan 21 delivery.Not the 1 at Ch-field one though.

We Get there (derbyshire peaks are sweet the dealer staff werent - and they werent selling it all really,its just to get you into their showroom. It worked too the skanky fibbers no test drives there either when we got there though onw was promised on the phone. :( sounds as if autoworld chesterfield are a bit more honestwith their customer dealings than the one we went to.:cool:
