General 4-door Fiat 500....any news?

[loveshandbags]

A very good scoop from fiatblog.nl, they always seem to get it pretty much nailed:

The interior has a lot of similarities to the new Panda; just looks like it's a bit more refined with the quality of equipment.

Good interior pics of the new Panda.

Came across this dubious article. My apologies if it has already being posted before...

Thank you for that. It looks really nice! I would think that it would be the perfect family car!

I do think the fiatblog article is legit though, these aren't photoshops.

Looking legit though!

thread started off as a 4 door, that would be pretty useless not being able to use the boot, this new 5 door idea is better

Dude, you posted saying that the news was hot off the press. Newsflash! We knew everything in the "scoop" that you gave us AGES ago.

Well, some people (me included) don't really see the hatch as a door

Yeah, with you on that Maxi. A hatch is not a door, it's a hatch. 10 years of owning a Primera told me that a hatch is a hatch, not a door - whoops, going round in circles! Anyway, sorry to sound negative, but I wouldn't dream of buying a Fiat that might look like a Mini.

any one got a pic of the back?

i used to think that until my grandson was born, then i found getting him in and out of a 3 door punto was easiest through the rear door

but ones that look like a micra are ok? :devil:

Absolutely! There's a huge difference in that aspect for me, I absolutely cannot stand the Mini, but I love the look of the Micra!

At least people who buy the new KA probably do so because they prefer the Ford brand or just like the look of the KA over the Fiat. As it happenz, I do prefer the look of the Fiat over the KA. My own opinion still stands though, I wouldn't buy a Fiat that looks like a Mini. Sorry.

I would respect that but quite a few think differently...

Going back to the 4 door 500 - this was always going to have a hatch door - it wasn't going to be a saloon. Still I've come around to the idea of it. Despite not being mad on the Countryman it would be good for Fiat to maintain and keep their marketshare.

Gosh, this might seem like a back track or like I'm making it up or something, but I hadn't thought about what the 'New' 'Indian' Micra might look like up against the 500, probably because it's built in India and I can't say I've seen the 'New' Micra on our roads yet. My own thoughts were directed to the last generation Micra before the new one, and I don't personally think that looks much like a 500. And to be honest, in my own opinion, I don't think the 'New' Micra looks that much like the 500 anyway. Perhaps I should go to the optician.....

Likewise. I wouldn't want the Micra looking like a 500. It would be like saying that from afar that a large cat looked like a small dog.

i was talking about the old micra too
