With regards to the 500x, it's a "crossover" so therefore, deeply uncool.
as funny as that statement was and i agree with the sentiment.. yurts are cool!! If you must go camping its pretty hard to beat a yurt
I had a quick look around one in the Fiat dealership in Northampton this morning. It looks great, but it's not that spacious, especially with the driver's seat back. Some of the switchgear feels pretty cheap too. That wouldn't bother me if it was a cheap car, but you can get a reasonable Qashqai for what Fiat are asking.
Yes but then you'd own a qashqai....
I suppose it does have a familial look to the front end, perhaps a sort of Uncle 500, but you have to be careful with a name. I was listening on the "car set" at work the other night and a Traffic Unit had were doing PNC checks on a couple of cars. The first one was a Fiesta, so no problems there but then the voice came over the radio with the VRM number followed by:The 500x to me fails because it has 500 in the name.. a 500 should be small and making a big one and putting 'x' in the name is just ridiculous and i dislike purely on that basis. They are trying to cash in on the success of the 500, its a new car they should have given it a new name or revived another older name that more matches what the car is.
