About the FIAT Brand
The FIAT brand stands for discovery through passionate self-expression.
That philosophy is embodied by the iconic Fiat 500 or Cinquecento – a
small car that lives big. Italian at heart and rooted in a rich
heritage, the 500 is sold in more than 100 countries and is synonymous
with modern, simple design blending form, function, technology and a
pride of ownership that is genuine.
In North America, the Fiat 500 was introduced in March 2011 and was soon
followed by the Fiat 500c (Cabrio), the high-performance Fiat 500 Abarth
and Abarth Cabrio, the fully electric Fiat 500e, the five-passenger Fiat
500L and the all-wheel-drive 500X crossover. The FIAT brand continues to
expand with the introduction of the Fiat 124 Spider, a revival of the
iconic roadster that combines Italian style, performance and engaging
driving dynamics. The all-new Fiat 124 Spider will arrive at FIAT
studios in summer 2016.
