500 is Fiat's number


Earlier this week,FIAT Group Automobiles UK Ltd launched the new Fiat 500 with a flight in one of the British Airways London Eye capsules.

Exactly 500 hours into 2008, a fantastic light show lit up a showbiz and celebrity event on the banks of the River Thames.

Around 500 VIPs, including Kelly Osbourne, Jade Jagger, Eva Herzigova, Eddie Jordan, Leah Wood and Lawrence Dallaglio with 1,500 others were invited to the all-ticket
launch event.

Also,there were 500 Fiats old and new in cavalcade.Everyone was treated to fantastic live performances from pop sensations Mika, The Feeling and The Vibrants.

Speaking about the Fiat 500,Fiat Managing Director, Andrew Humberstone, says: “We are confident that this car, with it stylish looks, economical consumption figures, outstanding safety features and ‘green’ credentials, will win a place in everyone’s hearts.”

While the new Fiat 500 is airborne for two weeks, members of the public have the chance to win a Fiat 500 in an interactive design competition being staged at the London Eye until 3 February.

Though I enjoy looking at "what may be",it has been a refreshing change to report on a great low emission car which is actually in production and available to buy,now.For more detail about the new Fiat 500 click here.
