    Fiat Looking To Add A Third Model

    March 19, 2012

    Fiat's U.S. lineup is only made up of one vehicle, the 500 and its variations. That will soon grow to two when the 500L makes its Atlantic crossing next spring. But Fiat U.S. chief Tim Kuniskis revealed to the Detroit Free Press there could be three Fiats.

    Kuniskis wouldn’t go detail what the third model could be, but he did say that styling will always be their emphasis and that “any car we sell has got to be different.”

    So, what could be the third vehicle? Well, it could be either the Panda, Punto, or a unknown vehicle.

    Driving around Kirkland this weekend, I saw 2 or 3 of these being test driven and have to say they are still BUTT UGLY!!!

    They are narrow, very tall cars with their donut tires and going around a corner I noticed considerable body roll. They look cheap and the people driving them look uncomfortable in the cramped interior.

    Not impressed and in regards to their Styling, they need to wake up and find someone that understand the definition as I do not read or hear positive things about the little car. The local Seattle times review was not at all positive about the car.

    I know a couple of guys with 500's and they both love them! They have both offered to let me drive theirs but i have always politely declined. One of the guys is 6'5" and he says he is very comfortable in it! That's hard to believe. He said the key was he didn't get a sunroof because they eat a quite a bit of head room. It's kind of amusing to see that big a guy get out of that small of a car

    • For your purposes, this would be more than enough.  BUT it won't play most games because it's an ARM processor instead of an x86.  That said, for all of your regular "office" type work, it will be snappier than anything else at this price point. And it has the 10-key. Don't get me wrong, it's a cheap laptop, but it will be a great performing cheap laptop. https://www.costco.com/p/-/lenovo-ideapad-slim-3x-153-touchscreen-copilot-pc-laptop-qualcomm-snapdragon-x-wuxga-1920x1200-windows-11-home-16gb-ram-1tb-ssd/4000379412?langId=-1
    • Over the last six years or so, I have slowly grown my Vinyl collection. This project was an effort to preserve my vinyl playing ways after the original 50 year amp gave out and I could not find a replacement anywhere on earth lol.    Here's some other pics of the progress over the last week or so... After gutting it, I installed some wood slats. For the record, nothing was cut away from the cabinet itself. I steed away all the original components in case I ever come across another OEM amp for it. The only change to the cabinet itself was the paint and stain job. After that, I set did a little "switcharoo" with some old school Sony floor speakers that were put into storage due to a pair of blown passive woofers (top speakers in them were active woofers with the bottom being the passive woofers). I combined the working woofers into a single cabinet and cut out two holes on one end to install the mid and tweeter from "gutted" floor speaker cabinet.           Then that was installed through the back of the console and it barely fit lol.     Here's the rest of the work.

    • That's Al Capone. I learned from the visitor center at Hot Springs.Arkansas that he used to come down there with his fellow gangsters to soak at the different resorts and get away from Chicago.  He only lived to forty-eight.  He wasn't murdered, nor did he die in jail.  He had this debilitating illness, and he was able to spend his last years in a mansion on one of those exclusive islands off of Miami.
