In the uk we all follow the euro ncap crash test safety system but in America they weren't happy with this and wanted something more rigorous, with a 'small overlap' test, this test has been around a while now and although the fiat 500L and the L treaking were really conceived to be a bigger 500 in a us market, fiat have screwed up big time with the 500L reviving a poor rating in the small overlap test
On top of this the 500L and fiats reputation in general is taking a beating with concerns over gearbox reliability and safety (another own goal for fiat)
On the dawn of the launch of the 500x it seems people are calling for fiat to sort of the issues with the L before launching any more problematic cars, I wonder with the damage seen to fiats reputation we will see fiat pull out of the US again an replace the fiat badge with a Chrysler one
