New mini-car

Fiat has started testing a new mini-car to challenge the Smart ForTwo and upcoming city cars like the Volkswagen Up! and Toyota iQ. The Fiat will share a platform with the Panda and 500 but be shorter still. At 3.20 metres the new Fiat, likely to be named the Topolino, would undercut the 3.55-metres-long 500 but still offer seating for four. The Toyota and Volkswagen are expected to be 3.15 metres and 3.4 metres long respectively. The structure of the new car will be made of tubular cells, and designed to offer high levels of protection to the occupants in case of crashes.

I thought "topolino" was Italian for little mouse? Now I think I have been mistaken and it means "estrogen".

I suppose if they were to supersize those you'd be all for it.

A full size fiat/alfa? sure would be, but not one with those rediculous proportions.

Hm, I can imagine, that's a competitor to Smart and Toyota IQ. I like the 500 and I hope this "Topolino" will differ alot to secure it's status

i dont see how people can think this is ugly, i think it looks like a funky rival to the successful area of city cars, and its Italian, which means it has instant sex appeal =D
