very cool to see someone out there is dedicated to fixing up old European cars as a side gig

2 Fiat 500s on the far side

and an MG on this side

in season 6 of Formula 1, Drive to Survive, the F1 drivers get some screen time in some tiny underpowered interesting old cars

I didn't know Giancarlo Esposito is 1/2 Italian... but Fiat did, and hired him to promote the Fiat 500. But, you already probably guessed, that the problem, is that the car isn't desirable in any way, and no amount of star power can get people to buy a lemon

According to the Washington Post, his father was an Italian stagehand and carpenter from Naples and his mother was a classically trained opera singer from Alabama, and they met at a small opera house in Milan

Since his 1968 Broadway debut, the 62-year-old actor has played roles including an enslaved child, a friendly face on “Sesame Street,” a drug dealer, a cop, a cadet, an assassin, a calculating kingpin, an enchanted mirror, a CEO wrangling spoiled superheroes, a civil rights icon, and a cape-toting Moff in the Star Wars universe. And that’s just a fraction — a small fraction — of his credits.

the Fiat 500X, is an old car that Fiat dealers still can’t sell. Overall, Fiat sold one car for every four Fiat dealers. Fiat is now below the car-per-day number, and way below the car-per-dealership amount.

I doubt Fiat has anything left in the pipeline that can rescue the company. I can't imagine why they are still making 500s, that started in 2011... and they never sold well, and a LOT were lemon lawed

They were made in 

2007–2024 (Poland) 

2011–2019 (Mexico) 

2023–present (Algeria) 

Model years 2007–present 2012–2019 (US/Canada)

I take it that means that the newest on a US dealership lot, are 6 year old models. I worked at a new and used car dealership from 2014 to 2020, and the used car lot almost always had a half dozen that were lemon lawed, and could be bought for about 9k apiece. Crazy good deal for high school and college students

Paweł Czarnecki’s small but mighty, mid-engine rally-inspired custom FIAT 126B is the 2025 Hot Wheels Legends International Tour winner!

Celebrating car builders worldwide, the 2025 Hot Wheels Legends Tour visited 16 countries, including 11 regional stops across the US. New Tour stops this year included Benelux (Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg), Peru, and Turkey. Over the course of the Tour, Hot Wheels designers and local automotive experts evaluated thousands of vehicle entries, with millions of fans attending events across the globe.

Czarnecki said he put in more than 2,500 hours building and an additional 800 hours of 3D printing of components to make a car that perfectly embodies the “Garage Spirit” mentality that the Hot Wheels judges look for in every submission, Mattel said.

“Powered by a Fiat Uno 1.4 Turbo producing 200 horsepower, paired with a Nissan 200SX GT28 turbocharger and a built Fiat Punto GT gearbox, it delivers rally-ready performance. The car features a custom coil over suspension, a body widened by 18.5 inches, period-correct HTN Motorsport three-piece wheels, Fiat Uno brakes, a flip-forward hood for rapid repairs and adjustments, and a full roll cage—blending historical inspiration with modern fabrication to bring this Polish rally vision to life.”

Amazon Prime has Lupin III vs Cats Eye... and it's a good fun romp, but it's got incredibly realistic cars

Of course, when you watch it on Amazon, it's in English

There are many other movies in the Lupin franchise, this next is even more photo realistic on the vehicles

I looked to see if this is streaming... it appears not.

7 Bantams, and a lot of museum microcars (Isetta, Crosley, Goggomobile, Fiat, Vespa etc) are coming to auction

only last week I was mentioning how cool the dragsters were with grills that had artwork

 Hell of a nice looking Fiat!

the Fiat 130 Villa d’Este of Gianni Agnelli

looks like a little rocket! Made by Petrolhedonism (great brand name) and Dipmonkey Garage

 

Ever seen one of the early Fiat 500s on an interstate? They really are small... here's a side by side comparison. By the way, it was maxed out at 40 mph

 

For some odd reason, the Petty Superbird was sent up the hill on a slow exhibition run alongside the Beast of Turin, which Richard Petty rose in as passenger

Forward the video to 7:23 for the Superbird and Fiat

a comparison of the Beast Of Turin, with any SUV or truck in the picture... the hood on the Fiat was higher than the roof on the SUV and truck!

Pretty ugly... why would anyone design a car to look like this? a 2000 Fiat Multipla, what were they thinking?

do you know the most common lemon of the past decade was? A FIAT 500. So, why would anyone pick a 2012 FIAT 500 and pit in a 250hp engine, get it to 174 mph, and try and sell them for 145k?

https://www.carscoops.com/2024/05/giannini-spettacolo-is-an-abarth-on-acid-thatll-cost-you-over-140000/

Anyone can buy a Corvette, or whatever, and still have enough to pay for gas and insurance instead, so why would anyone blow 145k on a Fiat?

terrific commercial for the Fiat Palio
