Launched just last year, the Fiat 500 hatchback was soon joined by the slide-open-top 500c cabriolet, followed by the up-power Abarth version late last year. For 2013, a mid-power 500 Turbo model slides in under the aggressive Abarth, and a pure electric, the 500e, makes its debut, initially limited to California.
Available in coupe, cabriolet or high-performance Abarth form, the Fiat 500 is more affordable than a Mini Cooper and more gregarious than a Toyota Yaris. Simply put, the 2012 Fiat 500 offers a new mix of economy and style.
Hot on the heels of its hatchback sibling, the 2012 Fiat 500 Cabrio has begun rolling into the automaker's 58 sales "salons" currently located in 25 states (although both figures are set to rise substantially by year's end). Unofficially dubbed the Fiat 500c, this soft-top runningmate shares key styling and mechanical bits with its hard shell kin but adds unique sun-runner flair to the mix, highlighted by a cleverly-executed power-activated slide-back top. Available in Pop and more upscale Lounge trim levels, the diminutive 500c is set to square off against its primary foe, the Mini Cooper Convertible, armed with an impressive array of standard features, outstanding build quality and a very attractive pricing strategy.
