Seicento & Cinqcento?

[danielsydney]

Hi guys being totally new to Fiat can someone tell me about the above 2 Fiat models?
Did one replace the Fiat 500 and the Fiat 126? How does all this fit together?

the 126 replaced the 500.
then the cinq came out to replace the 126,with the name 500,the the seicento replaced the cinq

cinquecento means 500 in italian, seicento means 600 in italian, but both are built on the same platform developed in the late 80s with a very tight budget, and while it was a leap forward for fiat in terms of suspension setup and manufacturing process, both the cinq and sei are now very outdated. a sei sporting could be a good first car on a budget, but other than that i really dont see a place for them these days. ka & lupo/arosa are much better cars for very similar money.
