Quotes from Will Powell of Autocar magazine.
I'm pleased i didnt go now
I got nibbles and min water locally at the dealer launch .
A bit of an anticlimax at 8pm but at least it was dry and warm
An “utter shambles” was how one guest described the Fiat 500 UK launch event at the London Eye on Monday evening. Members of the press and invited guests all huddled outside in the cold and rain while a host of celebrities were ushered into the elaborate car launch for Britain’s first taste of Fiat’s new ‘people’s car’.
On the road outside, we spoke to a number of Fiat customers who told us they had been invited along by their local dealership - and had booked central London hotels for the night – but that it now looked unlikely they would get in. It’s an ominous sign from Fiat’s often-criticised UK dealer network, which the company claims has recently radically improved its customer service.
Fiat has officially launched the critically acclaimed 500 in the UK, but the glamourous event held on the London Eye has been criticised by many customers, who were refused entry
many customers who had been told their names would be given entry to the car's star studded launch, were left disappointed when they were turned away.
we’re still getting negative letters about Fiat dealerships, often from people who had wanted to buy a 500 and now don’t. And that certainly doesn’t bode well for owning one.
