Cutest Car Of All Time?

Cuter than Brad Pitt?

We love all things Italian (gelato, pizza... the soccer team) and this mega-cute new Fiat 500 is definitely no exception.
The new Fiat 500 has a 5-star EuroNCAP rating (something some full-size cars can't match), the funkiest interior around (think 60s retro cream and brown lollypop-like leather), and a 6-speaker MP3-compatible sound system to boot.
So it's no surprise that has earned international praise, awards – headed by the European Car of the Year 2008 title – and sales demand in equal amounts.
Another part we love is that potential Fiat 500 owners can choose from 3 engines, 2 petrol and an advanced turbo diesel that will make – with a combined fuel economy of 4.2 litres/100 km – the 500 the #1 economical car available in Australia, beating even the hybrids! Plus it only releases 119 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometer. We love!
Matched to this are 3 equipment packages, the bright and exciting 'Pop' level, the exciting 'Sport' package and the luxurious 'Lounge' equipment level. Added to this is the personalisation program that will make it possible for owners to make their 500 a reflection of their own personality, with a long list of factory and after-market accessories.
If that's not enough to dress up your cutie new ride, you can also mix and match, Clueless style... Fiat Australia has built a special '500 incubator' – it is, after all, Fiat's new baby – section on its web site that guides you through the many options and allows you to walk into their Fiat dealership with a ready-made order form. Now that's service.
