LAST year, Fiat invited everybody in Europe to contribute on a dedicated website to the design of the Fiat 500. The good news is the final plans have been drawn and the car will go on sale in Italy on 15 September and shortly afterwards here.
The bad news is it may be a lot more expensive than expected. Word is Fiat will make it a designer car.
There are predictions the three-door 500 will cost about Euro10,000 in Italy, where the five-door Panda sells for Euro8,600. An entry level Panda here sells for about Euro12,000.
