Default Owner or fan of the original Fiat 500?

Just wondering, with the 500 being a revival or reinvention in a similar vein to the Beetle and MINI if we could get a gauge of those interested in the new 500 who were or are fans or owners of the original version of the car?

If so, how do you rate the new 500 in terms of capturing the appeal of the original 500?

I was a bit curious about this as they mentioned it on Top gear last night about old cars being reinvented. because as we have seen the MINI has been an astounding success almost everywhere, Why did the VW beetle never have the same success??
The 500 I believe was designed by the same bloke who did the new MINI so will it have the same success?

With regards to the Old 500 i am a big fan, just like i am of the old MINI! and i think that it is a very good modern representation of the old car! and brings it into the 21st century with alot of style!

Can we have an option for 'I am far too young to have ever owned an original Fiat 500'?

An original Fiat 500 was the first car I drove. A rental car on holiday in Spain many years ago

Well to be honest I just steered while sitting on my dad's lap
