Hmmm. While I was driving from LA to Fontana on the 210 I drove through San Dimas and saw a 500 in that same light green color. I wonder if it was the same one. It works on the 500, but I can't see that color on many other cars.

When were you here? You went right past my house. I saw those cars on the 10 and 60 freeway that day. Saw the last one on grand right off the 210. That was the second green one of the day. I drove a nice black sport yesterday. I was surprised at how nice and comfortable it really was. The 500 looks so much better with the rear spoiler then without.

does 4 500s equal a 2000?

Fiat brought quite a few different color cars to FFO,last year. I thought the best looking color was that light green.It is a odd shade,but it really works with the 500.We drve a convertible that color with the tan top..nice.

According to Wikipedia, the Europen cars are made in Poland and the North American cars are made in Mexico. This point was raised recently on the Mirafiori forum: If a Fiat 500 is not made in Italy, can it still attend Italian car shows? Are any of the parts made in Italy? Sorry if this was already discussed here, I don't follow much 500 related stuff.
