We continue DT’s Columbus Day/Canadian Thanksgiving celebration with this next Italian import, which is a Fiat: The 2012 release of the Fiat 500 for the US market was actually a success from a sales perspective..but despite the “Eye-tal-yon” heritage, this thing was assembled in Meh-he-co, which probably isn’t a bad thing, because I have to […]
Our next feature on this most festive holiday known around the globe as Fiat Munday’s is another Fiat, but this one is wasn’t assembled by someone named Gianni in Italy, but more than likely built by Jan in Poland or Juan in Mexico…which is not to say it isn’t a better car…but would fettuccine made […]

We continue DT’s Columbus Day/Canadian Thanksgiving celebration with this Fiat: The 2012 release of the Fiat 500 for the US market was actually a success from a sales perspective, even if the JLo returning to the Bronx ad was as fake as the so-called “Moon Landing.” Not to mention the Charlie Sheen Abarth advertisements that […]
Classic Italian cars are like a fine wine, aged to perfection and consumed in a leisurely manner. Modern Italian cars, on the other hand, are like coffee. Properly prepared, they can be tasty, but consume them quickly, lest they spoil and become rancid. Find this 2013 Fiat 500 Abarth here on eBay offered for $14,542 […]
The Bertone designed and built Fiat 850 Spider was a small 2-sear roadster that sourced its rear engine setup and mechanical parts from the higher volume Fiat 850 sedan.
