Today is the day that Fiat Officially announces its return to the United States. The U.S. version of the Fiat 500, a.k.a. Cinquecento, was debuted at the L.A. International Car Show. The car will be showing up at dealerships, called Fiat Studios, in December and will be available for sale in January. Fiat also sent out letters of intent to 150 dealerships that applied for franchises. Within the Fiat information released is that the EPA fuel economy
ratings for "City" and "Combined" ratings will exceed 40 m.p.g. I am excited to see that the Fiat USA website has pricing, build configurations and Fiat paraphernalia. More information is available on Facebook and Youtube. Fiat has indicated that more versions will be available in the next two years. They include convertible, four door people mover, and full electric power (already available in Europe).
