It will be interesting to see how this flies with the current state of the dealer network. I know that the 500e has been the best selling electric in Europe for a number of months but hopefully it’s not too little, too late. It would be a great electric, around town car on (hopefully) the lower end of the price spectrum.… unlike the high dollar electrics currently available. The Fiat dealer here in central Illinois is really a dealer in name only. They have the Fiat shingle hung outside but no inventory and don’t give two sh*ts about dealing with Fiats. Fiat’s marketing department is going to have to do a miraculous job…. When’s the last time you saw a Fiat ad, other than on-line in your inbox? Hopefully we’ll get more than a few Super Bowl spots…
. Don’t get me wrong, based on what I’ve read, they’re pretty awesome and I’d love to have one. But Fiat has to crack the mass market, joe 6 pack world in the U.S.A. and the track record there is less than stellar. Fingers crossed tho…
