I was looking at the colors, and still no... Hey, WAIT... EMBERGLO!!!! THIS thing comes in Emberglo!!

But you do have to get the gawdawful interior. The choices are betweeen "two toned chicken-****" seating (the little white part on top? That's chicken-**** too.*) and "burninated to coal, but pretty clouds above(?)" seating.

Fugly.

But hey, EMBERGLO. That's hot.

Despite the Fiat500 being cute and pricey, that combination didn't seem to hurt MINI, could very well work for FIAT.

I think there's a big difference between Mini and Fiat 500.

Mini is a premium brand by BMW and Fiat, on the other side, is coming back to the USA with a horrible reputation of "Fix it again Tony".

Also, for the past few years Mini was the most economical non-hybrid in the USA (29/37) and many people bought it just because of that. By the time Fiat 500 (rated at 27/34 by the way) goes on sale there will be at least four more more economical cars (Focus, Cruze, Elantra, Civic) which are also bigger, more powerful and barely more expensive.
