The Fiat 500 model soon became the iconic car after the development and design of the car by Dante Giacosa. The model made its debut in the year 1957 and since then Fiat has produced about 3,893,294 fiat 500 units until the end of the year 1975. The 2011 Fiat 500 will be an Italian made Mini Cooper with great looks.
The earlier generation of Fiat 500 were liked by most of its buyers, but the American market was exception for these cars, as its sales struggled a lot in the initial stages. But nowadays, the Fiat 500 is counted among the major cars. The sales of the Fiat cars has increased since 2004.
As its name implies, the heavily modified Italian hatchback gains a new layout with a mid-mounted engine and rear-wheel drive. Of course, such a radical change is not an easy task with the company having to re-engineer the entire vehicle.
