Today we’ll tell you what those four elements are, how they reach throughout the range of 500 models you can choose from, and we’ll highlight some of the exclusive new Fiat 500 Couture models that will be available in limited edition in Europe only — for now! We always like to say “for now” even when there are no immediate plans for a US release because the Fiat brand only continues to grow and flourish in the U.S. — in fact another tidbit from Francois was that last year Fiat models saw a 29% year-over-year increase stateside. Things may be looking way up for Fiat fans here on the fruited plain!  Read the rest of this entry >>

While looking at images from the Fiat models of today is certainly enjoyable, it’s also a whole lot of fun to take a look back at Fiat’s past and some of the excellent models that have populated the iconic lineup over the years since Fiat first started producing automobiles in 1899. Okay, we won’t dig back that far (not in today’s post, anyway), but these images of Fiat models from years gone by should be a nice trip down memory lane… or if your memory bank doesn’t go back that far (because maybe you weren’t quite born yet!) it can be a fun way to discover some great-looking cars from the past, with a timeless, signature style that still carries on today.
