Is there such a thing as an automatic Fiat 500 - in the new range?

Thanks

There will be "Dualogic" – a clutchless, 5-speed sequential manual shift with a selectable fully automatic mode available on the petrol models.

My dealer said they are expecting delivery of these in the UK around July.

Dualogic's have a clutch, but it's automated.

On a funny note I mentioned my Audi DSG company car has two clutches (one for gears 1,3 & 5 and the other for gears 2, 4 & 6), a girl in the office thought it sounded complicated knowing which clutch pedal to press...)

Ok the dualogic is a clutch pedal less, 5 speed sequential...

So why is the dualogic such a no no? Is it prone to failure...or is it just crap?

Anyone tried the smart auto??? I drove a hire version whilst on holiday...

It felt like a learner driver had taken over and was free wheeling the engine while they tried to find the gear, before engaging it with a shudder...was unbelievably crap...

So is the dual logic anything like that cos if it is steer well clear....!!!!

nothing wrong with dual logic systems,the system the 500 uses I have had only one problem with (on a idea).The dual logic is capable of being more reliable,improving life of clutch & faster gear changes (sport mode).

Whilst waiting for the MOT to be done on the Panda today I went and visited Fiat in Oldbury

Got to play with the new 500, I was impressed - It was lovely!

And the dealer informed me, yes there is an automatic :slayer:

The dualogic at the moment still hasn't had the calibration freeze, FPTand MM usually have a period of 8-10 weeks after calibration sign off before end of line flashing can happen, so at the moment April looks tight.

I thought that when the announcement came out on the 17th, especially as two days earlier at Coventry we were told no earlier than June!
