Re: Fiat 500 Estate

Glad its not just me then! I'm beginning the think the 500 looks a bit plain, after initially being very keen on them..

There's too many of these things aimed at the 30-something London-ite blondes with stupid little dogs that wear jackets. Mini, Beetle, Fiat 500, the return of the Ford Capri, bringing back the Lancia Deltas. It's all getting a bit contrived, pretentious and gitty now.

Just waiting for the return of the XR3i and the Nova SRi

Re: Fiat 500 Estate

My wife is very likely to get one about this time next year. She is blonde and we do have a wee dog, but she's anything but London-ite and the dog doesn't wear jackets. So is that OK?

Re: Fiat 500 Estate

As long as the dog doesn't get taken for a 'walk' stuffed in a handbag with a pink ribbon in it's hair ... then yes, you have my approval to go and buy one!

Re: Fiat 500 Estate

why not buy a Panda instead? It's less contrived, just as practical, nor a pastiche.
