Really???
I get the hatred of pink, understandable in my book , but you really think the 500 is a vulgar design? I can't say I've read anything negative at all about the retro looks of the thing and your comment really surprised me tbh. |

I love the Fiat 500. Love the original one, love the new one. Saw a lovely dark grey one on the way home tonight.

I couldn't afford one in the foreseeable future.

TBH I think they're a very cool and funky little car.
If Fiat and Alfa can finally conquer the issue of shoddy build quality and reliability (Alfa more so) then companies like Ford and Vauxhall will have a lot to worry about because in terms of design the Italians are in a different league. |

The only discount they are giving is the £2000 scrappage, no negotiation at all.
Like Kitten, I'm waiting for a year or so and getting one used

I meant a proper old one! Like 1960's old. I'll only be getting a new one if a very kind money fairy visits or if I'm very lucky indeed - my buggering car is one month outside the scrappage scheme (and I couldn't make up the difference anyway) and as we only have on-street parking, I'd be out the window all the time like Mrs Mangle everytime someone walked past!

I really like the 500 sport in white- it's a head-turner, and for whatever the reason it does that exactly, I quite like it.
(still wouldn't buy one though- especially in "silly barbie" pink )
