    Fiat To Name The X-Large 500 The 500L

    Fiat has finally come up with a name for their new five-door 500 - the 500L. The new 500L will make its official debut at March’s Geneva Motor Show.

    The 500L will be wider and about 2.4 inches longer than the regular the 500. That’s due to the 500L being based on Fiat’s Punto subcompact..

    The 500L will be offered in two models; a five-seat and seven-seat model. The U.S. will get the five-seat model only.

    Fiat will begin sales of the 500L in Europe beginning in July. The U.S. sales will begin sometime next year.

    Yup, after the classic Dodge. :smilewide:

    Uh, no...the classic Fiat 600, like the Multipla..

    or the regular 600, which was the 500's 'big' brother..

    I wonder if the 5 seat version will be a variation of the new 3rd gen Panda but w/ 500 styling cues up front...

    Boy FIAT has not listened or woken up. They are BROKEN, Their cars suck, are too small and Butt Ugly! The dealership by my house has tons of 500's and I rarely see anyone at the dealership. In fact this weekend, they moved jeeps and dodges into the front line facing the road and moved all the FIATs back.

    FIAT has not learned from their last visit to America and they still do not have Auto's that appeal to Americans. The Euro Coffin on wheels will not sell here.

    If they want to have a Coffin on wheels, then they have to at least make it a pretty one or at least pretty in the eyes of the Tree huggers.

    • GOP is in for a major reconning imho. Enough people are educated enough to understand that others should not be dictating how another lives especially when you do not pay for their life style, etc. We are coming up on one of the biggest money exchanges ever as the Boomers die off. Yes those that inherit billions are never really going to change their ways, but the bulk of society is not happy with what is going on and I think outside of meddling by Musk and others for the attempted control by Billionaires, U.S. society will stop this. Sadly it will be too late for leadership of this country as that ship sailed and has been sunk by imbeciles. I fear there is going to be major reconning for various industries. Steel, Aluminum, etc. are not going to come back in the droves that current lemmings think they will. Manufacturing of various kinds will also not come back, just to much to setup up and have covered that are already in places with much cheaper labor. BIGGEST area is the American Auto Industry where I believe it will truly be reduced to a fraction of what it is today and just be more of a foot note in history in a couple decades. Very sad due to poor leadership at many levels that cannot seem to see the future. Was waiting to hear if @Drew Dowdell was going to post a story on this or not, but here is the press release of the Cadillac Velocity Concept that channels the essence of the Cadillac V-Series of autos.

    • True that..I ignore much of modern American culture and people...I really have no interest in what the generican masses are into, F them...a nation full of lobotomized imbeciles.   All my stuff is here, my dogs, my house, my cars, my sister, a few friends.   Not interested in moving again--I've moved 5 times in the last 30 years, 4 states.  That's enough..
    • Yep. I am positioning myself financially to leave. And I saw this way before Trump.
