It will be, the first have only recently been delivered. When I got my new Panda in April 2004 I never saw another for weeks. Wait a while, youll be fed up of them, especially when you dont have yours
Must admit I still haven't seen any non dealer 500s on the road yet. We haven't released any yet, I know that. Seems there is only about 2 -3 on the forum in the UK who do have them so they will be a rare sight for atleast a little while.
I've seen one!!!!!!!!!!! From my dealer as well ,it was parked up in town so ran and had a nosey.....chacha lounge not a demo one tho as it had a mobility sticker in window, then......as I was going home saw it again lol
I haven't seen one yet either but my dealer has at least 6 waiting to go out next Saturday (including mine ) so hopefully it won't be too long before I see another owner I can wave at

I wasn gonna say - lots will be picked up at their dealer next weekend (mind too!). I still haven't seen one on the road yet. The parents saw one around the Bristol area today, in Chazure and a white one in Cheltenham last week

I have seen as many new 500's as I have seen Panda 100hp's recently, admittedly a few may have been left hand drive versions (they still count) i have counted at least 5 on my travels in the last few weeks.

P.S I hope you all enjoy your 500's, very cool little car!!

And mine, but I'm sure for very different reasons!She's often a topic of conversation in my house
We just talked about how we recon she goes on 2 or 3 holidays a year, has the full Sky+ HD package, has a D&G Motorla branded mobile, probably wears rather strong perfume, has airbrushed acrylic nails and has a Vaio laptop.And mine, but I'm sure for very different reasons!
Oh and how gorgeous we (me and the mother) thought her husband was :yum:

Thought I saw one Friday night, coming into Sainsbury's car park in Brighouse. I got really excited. Turned out to be a Nissan Micra...well it was dark and raining and my glasses needed a clean. When ours eventually arrives, I hope I don't accidently wave and flash at Micras.
We stopped off at our dealers in Cleckheaton as they've got another 500 in their showroom: a black lounge with the red leather interior. The red leather looked great (and it's what we've ordered too), except ours is a 1.4 sport in pasadoble red.
Also found out today that if you opt for the leather interior, you don't get the underseat storage compartment that you do on the standard seat trims.
Good news was the sales rep we spoke to reckoned our car might arrive up to 2 weeks earlier than previously informed.
They've just had 3 500s arrive for customers who ordered theirs in December.

I honestly cant see how people mistake them, apart from the fact both are dumpy rounded cars, thats it Better get to specsavers, LOL!
Better get to specsavers, LOL!
Plenty of people do though.
We're a Nissan dealership as well as Fiat, and all the Techs said it looks like a Micra when they first saw it.
I got my new glasses (from specsavers) in October, just before we went on holiday to Venice. It was there that we saw the 500 for the 1st time in the flesh, and I fell in love with it.....at least it looked like a 500.... I'm hoping I didn't fall in love with a Micra lol.
