    Fiat Looking To Add A Third Model

    William Maley

    Editor/Reporter - CheersandGears.com

    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

      There are certainly some "in the area", but I really don't know where one is.  It's really just a wait and see for Scout, for me. As much as I'd love one, this feels like it may be the biggest hurdle to get over. Price is pretty cut and dry, can I afford it or not? Where or how will I get it serviced, because it isn't set in stone right now, is an issue.  I also don't know which I'd get, the SUV or truck? My first instinct says the SUV, but I'd love the bed of a truck. I only need two rows of seats so even if the SUV offered a 3rd row(I haven't looked into or remember if it does or not), I'd leave it flat more likely anyway.  Okay, well I googlemaped Pep Boys and they are NOT in the STL area. I feel like they used to be, because I remember the commercials, but they certainly are not anymore.

      Ugh, the uncertainty is that's annoying there. I would just hate to now know, but I understand that's how it goes sometimes.

      Not sure if you have any Pep Boys automotive centers where you are, but they have signed on to be Tesla and Rivian service centers which makes it pretty easy to get to one beside Tesla/Rivian having their own locations.

      EV Home Charging: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

      We knew Albert's job travel would be changing in the next 6 months, but we thought it would go down not up.  We heard on Friday that his company lost the client he works for and they're looking to re-deploy him to other clients. He'd be a mix of remote + travel.  Now we have to wait till July to figure out what's going to happen.  If he gets remote + travel, I think we'll need to go with a PHEV instead of full EV. The only way we could do full EV is if he got something crazy like a 500 mile range Lucid.

      Technically, $28 for me, but I'm never on E. It's certainly an extra $15-22 per transaction.
