Cute as a bug


Isn't this the cutest little car?  I first spotted these cute little Fiats when I was in Italy almost three years ago.  A few months after returning from that trip, they started to show up on the streets of Phoenix.  Now I see quite a few of them but this one caught my eye with those fancy wheels and that racing stripe trim.  It just looks fun!

    They are very popular in the UK, there is even a larger version which looks a little odd!

    Like the style but I wonder how they would operate in a Minnesota winter?

    Very nice. Looks brand new, too. We see a few here, but they are kinda hidden behind all the beeg pickups rolling along our streets.

    I'm posting a bit on L & L (http://www.landlfotos.com/blog.html)

    That looks just like the one I posted a few weeks ago! Same color too.

    I doubt my tall frame could fit in that!

    I like the colour and would go for the soft pull-back roof that I have seen on a few! They seem to do pretty well in our winters. With snow tires of course. ;-)

    I also love them! But my German husband will not allow me to have an Italian car. ;-)

    Cinquecento looooove! They have taken over the streets of Paris and I usually see a few when I'm in Seattle these days!

    Oh and I agree with Llandudno, the 'Cinquecento Grande' is... ummm... ugly!

    I have been seeing them here too! I love the shade of green on this one.

    It has pretty sophisticated lines for a peanut-sized car. Last spring I encountered some unusual new Fiats in Naples and took their photos, but I'm sure I can't lay my hands on them.

    I do like Italian cars but I'll stick with my Nissan Altima this time around. (If the damned steering wheel doesn't explode in my face!)

    They are cute. They remind me of a Jellybean.
