Re: Good news for the 500 crowd

If it's true, the introduction of a 'station wagon' is good news

Re: Good news for the 500 crowd

Will be better than the Mini Clubman any day! It will be fun to see Fiat vs BMW Mini!

I read in auto express that Fiat are planning to do a soft top 500 as well. Whoop Whoop.

Re: Good news for the 500 crowd

As long as Fiat keep the 500 Estate simple & affordable.

MINI tried to be too quirky ith the Clubman & actually made the car worse for it. If it had no 'Club Dorr' & & a normal boot lid & was £1000 cheaper in would be a better car for it.

Re: Good news for the 500 crowd

As featured in auto express in april... estate looks odd to me (if indeed that is exactly how it will look) but convertible looks great!



Strip the stupid bits off this one though, and it looks way better than fiats effort! The roofline looks less like a bit has been tacked on the back as an afterthought and more like it was meant to be that way...

Re: Good news for the 500 crowd

I'm hoping the Estate will be the same story too.

The wifes FR-V will be replaced next year & an Estate 500 will fit the bill quite nicely (1.3, Lounge, Orange with Vintage leather), otherwise it may be a Bravo 105 Eco.

Bwahahahaha Auto Express my butt.

Porsche Cayman publicity photos


Non-existant Ferrari Dino photo


Not the background which is the same and the kelp in the water which looks exactly the same.

Auto Express just make stuff up and pass it off as fact when it's nothing of the sort. By the time a car is actually released Auto Express have made another 100 cars up and you've forgotten how different the car they made up is to the actual finished product. Auto Express is a great magazine to read if you want to find out what a future car will look nothing like.
