I think my 500 will be great looking When I ordered my car the sales representative from my dealer told me that my car would be the second one in Norway with the color blu polvere. So i guess it will look a bit different than all the other 500`s around which are mostly white and red. Havent seen anyone with a-bar and crome list either.

Why has the colors of the car different names in Norway than in the rest of europe?

Not just Norway, the UK colours I know have different names to Italy and other European countries.

Marketing men earning their money I guess!

Welcome to NF500.

Hi everyone, just ordered a 1.2 Sport in Pasadoble Red with chrome and two tone alloys. Looks like its due sometime in October. I can remember the wait for our new Mini a few years ago so I just know it will be agony. Any way can't wait for it to join our family of Fiats (Coupe and X1/9).

Welcome.
I have had mine on order for a couple of weeks now and could still have as many as 10 weeks still to wait.
At least I am not alone and I'm sure October will be here before you know it.

Hello

We're in Brighouse too, so will look out for yours in October. Besides mine (Bepe), I've seen 3 other red 500s in Brighouse. Ther's one often parked in Tesco car park (57 reg, I think it's the ex demo from Clemo), one with a white stripe called Tina and another with a private number plate.

Hi, we've seen the one in Tescos too. Also seen a black one regularly driving past our works at lunchtime which looks great. Probably see you around and wave when we get ours.

There's also an elderly couple in a white one whizzing around Brighouse (well, not so much whizzing, more like a leisurely tootle.) Also spotted a yellow one near the bus station and a white one near Sainsburys - just getting too comon

Hi There

Hopefully just another week or so before my 1.2 Lounge arrives. I am one of those thats got wise and traded in before the hoards realise how much it's going to cost to commute.

I am trading down from a Honda s2000 {absolute excocet missile} to a humble 1.2 Lounge.......reason ........ 2 Grand a year running cost difference.
I love small cars ive had Fiat Unos and Cinquecento Sportings in the past but when i got married i discovered soft tops {Mx5} and also beacause the new Mrs wouldn't be seen dead in my little yellow number with offensive plate

Actually we went looking for a Punto diesel, but when she saw the new 500 she just had to have one.......................incidently i don't recommend Evans Hallshaw in Stockport as they refused to sell me a 1.2 Pop with various extras apart from alloys....which of course my wife insisted upon.
We offered full price cash if they would just stick a set of alloys on and they said NO not interested and insisted that that no bits and pieces can fixed upon them after delivery, it all has to be done in the factory.

I see TonyWalks car a lot as he is on my commuting route in the mornings sometimes { like the plate}, your about 2 mins away from me {just at the other end of High Lane Simmondley}.

Hopefully she will prove as reliable as my last Fiats
