Summary: Fiat is returning to the U.S. after a 27-year absence - a move facilitated by its new relationship with Chrysler - offering the diminutive 500 as its first new offering. Combining European style and heritage with a starting price of $16,000, the 2012 Fiat 500 bridges the gap between the sportier, pricier Mini Cooper and the more pedestrian Toyota Yaris.
