    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

    • IIRC the other founder of Turning Point died of Covid after denying safety steps for covid or something. You can argue morality and logic, but the impacts/results/effects of what you do are objective and real.  A bit of non political fun, this is gorgeous.  If I wasn't turning 60 years old today, I would drive that damn thing. 
    • 100% spot on analysis of Kirk. Yes, the way he died was horrible, no matter what side of the political spectrum on which you stand. However, let us not ignore the man's ACTUAL words and actions that helped fuel the "radicalization" of certain factions in this country and create this exact scenario where someone decided to take matters into their own armed hands. Ten years of pure madness fueled by one giant narcissistic A-Hole in D.C.
    • This guy gets the toxic state of America right on so many levels. it's pretty much cooked.  Drew feel free to delete this if need be. 
    • I like a lot of this guys analysis, he explains well why American manufacturing is declining at a greater and greater pace and why jobs are moving away from the United States.   
    • I love when it our Prime Ministers are passionate about hockey!!!     https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6619565/2025/09/11/hockey-connor-mcdavid-mark-carney-canada-extension/   “Let’s face it. We are in a crisis,” Carney said. “The global trading system has been upended. Supply chains have been destroyed. McDavid is unsigned. This is not a transition. This is a rupture. It’s in times like these you have to draw back in and remember what you have. Draisaitl. Hyman. Nugent-Hopkins. We’ve got to draw on those strengths. We’ve got to draw on those values.     “And Connor, if there’s anything we can do in the upcoming budget. We’re spending less, we’re going to invest more so we can bring that Cup back to Canada.”
