  • @215alessio James May already has blessed Fiat 500

  • @WizenedWarrior

    I think FIAT was the last manufacturer in Europe that invented cupholders. My 15 year old FIAT has no cupholders, because i think it is build for the European way of driving, which is in my opinion a seperation of driving and eating. Especially in Italy you can have so nice breaks with cheap real coffee at the bar at any Autogrill on the autostrada...

  • May God bless Fiat :p

  • @blakshadow5 Have you any data on these "higher safety standards"? Safercar.gov looks a lot like the long established euroncap.com except the American test still uses the full width semi deformable structure for head-on crashes rather than the more destructive half width barrier.

  • Mamma che strazio 'sta pronuncia!

  • @WizenedWarrior and what about your passengers? do they not need bigger drinks holders? this isn't a problem for the EU market as our drinks aren't as large as they are in America but im guessing they did the research and this was one thing they believed they needed to change

  • yay larger cupholders... who really uses the larger cup holders i mean driving is driving dont need to drink anything when im driving, just focus on what you're doing and maybe you can reduce the risk of collisions. good video though thanks for posting

  • Ommioddio che pronuncia degna di berlusconi! Cmq amo la 500

  • @racrdave They also strengthened the car overall to meet our higher safety standards. So in some ways it's actually better than the European model.

  • the robotized DSG manual in my vw GTI is kickass!!

    AND IM AMERICAN!!
