I hope they're a bit more price competitive vs Mini. You start putting some options on on the Mini models and you can easily have a $30,000 car.

Yes, top-line Minis can run some significant money nowadays, but they may (?) have to reduce some of the prices soon now that they have significant competition from Fiat.

It may be ugly by our standards, but, in Europe, a lot of people are used to being around quirky-looking vehicles like that. Until recently, for example, the now-discontinued British three-wheeled Reliant Robin was a prime example.

It lost its appeal with the 2 extra doors. They call it the Fiat 500 FAV ( Fat American version )LOL

its based on this - Fiat Panda, Europe's original small MPV... It is nice car... 500L is basically luxury version of it. Competing with other small MPVs as well as entry level luxury as well as regular B and C segment hatches.
