I think this is a very cool product design. We just had a Fiat dealership open up a couple months back in Sarasota and now I see these tiny Italian cars everywhere. These look like a cross between a Smart Car and a Mini Cooper. The 500L will join the Abarth and the Cabrio in the 500 model range. The small MPV vehicle offers a 5-seats capacity and is positioned between the B and C segments. The single-volume body is 414 cm long, 178 cm wide and 166 cm high and is a further development of the cab forward concept introduced by Fiat with the 600 Multipla, a precursor to the concept of the compact people carrier. The 500L will be produced at the Fiat factory in Kragujevac, Serbia and will be introduced to Europe in the last quarter of 2012, with a choice of two gasoline engines, TwinAir and the 1.4-litre, and one turbodiesel 1.3 MultiJet II. WHo would have though such a small and “green” concept would come in diesel. Great product design as well as an innovative design.
