As with any of the product launches we have a presence at, we make sure to bring you ALL of the information that is laid out on the table for the Agents. Why? Because we want to arm YOU with the best and most thorough information so you can make the most educated buying decision possible.
That's why we started the 101 series. At these all-new product launches we're inundated with information. As we don't want to let anything slip through the cracks, we're going to cut the middle man out of the picture and let you know exactly what Fiat wants you to know about its all-new 500X.

In this collection of photos, you'll see the exact presentation presented to the automotive media. It includes really interesting and insightful bits about the 500X we're pretty sure you won't get any where else.
You wouldn't believe it, but some of these journalists don't find much of this details cool or important enough to share. </end sarcasm>
Personally speaking, I have to say I enjoy the slides that detail some of the vehicle's design inspiration and how it tried to keep the 500X true to the Fiat form.
So, sit back, relax and enjoy the show!
Please note, I have also attached Fiat's press release as a refresher on the all-new 500X.
