I hope it does well. It's certainly more interesting then your average Hyundai or Kia econobox.

Chrysler/Fiat (or whoever they are this week) is going to sell millions of these! This is the car that Scion should have built.

This is the dumbest car to bring over as their first car here. They should have brought over a nice sedan.They are not going to be taken serious. Nevertheless they will sell a lot of these as its a new brand and people will want to be the first ones with a fiat.

I agree, this is a gamble to bring as a first car. I like it but will it appeal to the average American who doesn't think practical as the people in its home market. I say they should have brought a nice midsize car to shake up the market then introduce the 500 and then move on to more upscale fiat's.

I really want to like this car but I can't. I didn't have to think about the MINI, it was instant desire.

For such toys will wait for the 2012 Scion iQ.

I don't have to think about it. I like it. I have a Cooper S but I might consider this over a base Mini if I was in the market.
