First U.S. ad for FIAT 500
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXdaVgRysmE&feature=player_embedded
Less gimmicky bs, more of the car. I am wondering how it will be received in the market here. The commercial is like something Starbucks would put together, imo, but who knows. . .
It is certainly different for the U.S., but wildly popular in Europe and the UK, as it was in it's original release in 1957.
FIAT has also come a long way from the Fix It Again Tony lemon cars some were plagued as.
Much more fun to watch, though I don't speak Guido

Re: First U.S. ad for FIAT 500
lol that might be the worst commercial put out by a major car company throughout recent history, can anyone think of a worse one? It says nothing about the car's specs, price, release, nothing but some stock film of a 500 driving surrounded by clips that have nothing to do with the car or the company at all.

Re: First U.S. ad for FIAT 500
Would I buy one based on that commercial? Hell no, would I buy one based on what I've seen they're capable of? In a heartbeat. But I'm with TATT, my guess is that at $15.5k for a base model 500 I'm thinking it'll cut into the market of more traditional "chick cars" like the Beetle, Jetta, and Mini. I built one on their website to pretty high standards for optionals (Bluetooth, Bose system, even standalone WiFi) for like 18k. Maybe I'm crazy but my favorite part is the interior choices where you can choose for the top and bottom half of the seatback to be in different colors to correspond with the headliner, and the steering wheel matches too. Maybe I'm just insanely OCD but the fact that my headliner doesn't match the rest of my interior bugs me really bad.

I think the base is more in the 13's. I do like the customization of the model. but still much prefer the styling of the MINI. Still, a much better econobox then some of the shit out there.

the site says 15, but they could be including tax and destination and whatever fees are entailed.

Yeah all that commercial says to me is; If you have a shit ton of money and can do awesome shit all day and go to cool places all the time and completely avoid reality, then you should buy a FIAT!
