What an ugly car. I'd take a Toyota Yaris and Corolla over this poser anyday.

And this thing is supposed to get 5 stars? It's Italian. They can't build a car that doesn't fall apart once it leaves the showroom.

Bullshit !!! Are you saying that fine Italian cars lik Maserati and Ferrari also fall apart, or just Fiats? As for the Yaris (Echo replacement), when it first came out, my wife and I took it around the block -- we had to cut our test drive short because it was very cramped and our bums were sore after one block of sitting on those hard seats. I understand that Yaris is better but once bitten, twice shy.

Now that's proper engineering! This car is a MEGA hit!

In only 3 weeks it was sold out for a year!

If it were sold here I'd snap one up in a heartbeat! What a great and stylish city car this would make for my wife and I.
