Chrysler has announced that the 2011 Fiat 500 1.4 Pop will start at a base price of $15,500 (before destination) with Sport models starting at $17,500 and Lounge versions starting at $19,500. All models are powered by Fiat’s 1.4 liter MultiAir engine, making 101 HP and 97 lb-ft of torque… and luckily the little engine has only 2,400 lbs to move. The base model gets 15″ steelies, cloth and a CD player, while the Sport model adds 16″ alloys, remote keyless entry, cloth/vinyl sport seats and steering wheel, sport suspension and a lightly modified exterior. The range-topping Lounge trim gets 15″ alloys, a Bose stereo, the Microsoft-based “Blue&Me” hands-free media system, premium cloth seats, a glass roof, body-color side moldings and chrome accents as well as a standard automatic transmission and automatic climate-control. Check out the three versions at Fiat USA’s new site… and hit the jump for Fiat’s just-announced list of US-market dealers.

    I personally can't wait to see them in person. When I saw the prices, I thought they were in line with the Fiesta 5 door, the 4 door sedan is less and even there, I think it starts at $14K. That said, some corrections. If you go into the configurator, click on view details in the pricing box, it'll list ALL of the standard features of each trim. The Pop is very well equipped for the price, making it a fairly good deal when compared to other similar type cars and infinitely less than the Mini. Some of the features standard on the base Pop AC w/ micron filtration Cruise control keyless entry heated electric mirrors 5spd manual power doors and locks ESC/Traction control ABS, 4 wheel disc brakes to name some of the features. trip computer The Sport gains Blue & Me connectivity (I think w/ USB) leather wrapped steering wheel Bose audio 16" alloys fog lamps the Lounge adds Sirrus Sat radio automatic climate controls alarm fog lights and chrome accents From what I gather, the 6spd automatic may well be the dual dry clutch unit talked about and it has a sport shift mode so while no clutch, you CAN shift it if you wish or simply leave it in drive like a conventional automatic. Personally, I think for what it offers, the pricing is pretty decent overall and word is, these cars, as is the Panda it's based on have proven to be fairly reliable in recent years.

      The sport button simply tightens up the throttle response, adjusts shifting parameters for pure automatic mode for a quicker response and gives I think more weight to the steering. As for the sport shift on the transmission, when you get into the D position, it has an elongated gate with a minus and a plus, the minus above the "D", the plus below, this is where you shift, you nudge the shifter up to downshift, down to up-shift sequentially and on the transmission is the ESC (electric stability control) on/off button. the TCU (transmission control unit) is inside the housing to help manage this feature, but if you just left it alone, the transmission will act like a conventional automatic.

    I would love to drive one as finally we get a cult car within reach pricewise and with available modern technology. The choice of colors are superb as the seat trims and colors. Not much of a deal in the Lounge version. but sure in the Pop and Sport versions. I concur with Stevelovescars that is too bad the red white and green flag stripes are not offered in most configurations.

  • Kwik_Shift Hyunkia'sis doing what they do best...subverting expectations of quality.
  • MaintenanceCosts People who don't use the parking brake when they walk away from the car deserve to have the car roll into a river.
  • 3-On-The-Tree I’m sure they are good vehicles but you can’t base that on who is buying them. Land Rovers, Bentley’ are bought by Robin Leaches’s “The Rich and Famous” but they have terrible reliability.
  • SCE to AUX The fix sounds like a bandaid. Kia's not going to address the defective shaft assemblies because it's hard and expensive - not cool.
  • Analoggrotto I am sick and tired of every little Hyundai Kia Genesis flaw being blown out of proportion. Why doesn't TTAC talk about the Tundra iForce Max problems, Toyota V35A engine problems or the Lexus 500H Hybrid problems? Here's why: education. Most of America is illiterate, as are the people who bash Hyundai Kia Genesis. Surveys conducted by credible sources have observed a high concentration of Hyundai Kia Genesis models at elite ivy league universities, you know those places where students earn degrees which earn more than $100K per year? Get with the program TTAC.
