At the recent press conference for the big reveal of the Fiat 500X, Head of Fiat Brand Olivier Francois laid out the four “embedded elements” of any Fiat 500 model.

Fiat's Italian Neighbor Series on Funny or Die
Fiat Funny or Die
Fiat’s known for commercials that are humorous and outside the box of what you’d normally expect from a car company.

Perhaps nowhere is this connection more strongly drawn than on Fiat’s Funny or Die channel. The current season is called “Neighbors” and we’ll tell you all about it (complete with video!)
