2013 Fiat 500L for the USA

Power comes from a 1.4-liter MultiAir turbo (not offered in Europe) tuned to produce 160 hp and 184 lb-ft. A choice of six-speed manual or dual-clutch transmissions is offered. Optional all-wheel drive is expected, but timing has not yet been announced.

Ups, it's a Fiat 500L, not Ford.
Could somebody please change that?

500L does not share platform with a regular 500 - 500L actually shares platform with much bigger Fiat Punto. Its the second of many new vehicles from 500 family. Fiat wants to do something similar to what Mini has done.

And its being built in Kragujevac, Serbia, at the former Yugo's factory.
