    Rumorpile: Fiat Working On A 500 Crossover, Possibly Become A Jeep

    The Fiat 500 lineup is currently made up of three models; the regular 500, 500C, and the new 500L crossover. Autocar is reporting there could be a fourth model on its way.

    The fourth model is expected to be the replacement to the Fiat Sedici (Suzuki SX4) and carry the nameplate of the 500X. The 500X will combine the styling of a SUV and hatchback.

    The 500X will use Fiat's small vehicle architecture with the 500L and Punto and come equipped with the 900cc TwinAir unit, a 1.4L four-cylinder, and a diesel. It will come with either front-wheel or four-wheel drive.

    The 500X is expected to be also sold as a Jeep in North America and China.

    The 500X will come out sometime next year with the Jeep model following a year after.

    • Yes, GM and Hyundai Motor Group signed an agreement of Understanding to investigate joint product development, manufacturing and future clean energy technologies. Hyundai and GM Sign Memorandum of Understanding to Explore Collaboration on Vehicles, Supply Chain and Clean-Energy Technologies I did not cover it here as it is very vague on what they are going to do when you read the details. Hyundai covered it in their press releases, but GM never posted anything which pretty much tells me GM sees little value here to the executive other than a photo op. To quote the press release from Hyundai: Following the signing of the non-binding Memorandum of Understanding, assessment of opportunities and progression towards binding agreements will begin immediately.
    • 30 and cloudy today, but dry. Took the Caddy for a spin, first drive since December.  Went on the coast for seafood and a walk on the beach.  Came home and got the Mustang out for a bit.  Looking forward to Spring. 
    • Speaking of Hyundai and Kia vans, there was talk on the latest Wheelbearings podcast that Hyundai is interested at bringing the Staria minivan here as a GM model, maybe as the new Chevy City Express (replacing that hideous rebadged Nissan van from a few years ago).   Apparently GM and Hyundai have some sort of JV program in the works.
