500 TenderTwo by Castagna



Lovin Fiat 500 all the more with this version. Powered by electric, 500 TenderTwo has the speed of up to 80 mph running for about 80 miles between charging which takes up to 4 hours.

Great car for the beach. Its designer, Castagna, a Milan based company decided to get rid of its doors, rear hatch, and roof putting a cage-like look instead using teakwood and making it more like a yacht on the ground.

Smart For Two and New Fiat 500





A Fiat 500 passed right in front of me

Do you know what it means to me? It's such a real treat. It's like when you were in high school and you saw your crush and he smiled at you. Wow! Heavenly.

I was on my way home from the gym and was walking idly trying to ignore the mild wind that sent shiverings to my spine. When all of a sudden the most beautiful thing I could hope for was just coming towards me. As if to tease me, it halted right in front of me so I could lavish my eyes looking at it admirably. As it glided past by me my eyes followed it without blinking savouring every single moment while it seemed to roll away deliberately slowly giving me more time to my heart's content to lavish him with my admiration.

Taking notice to the man behind the wheel who was in his 50s I believe, I told myself that one day I would be seating in the driver's seat as well driving a white Fiat 500.

Still absorbed with this thought, I saw Citroen C3 passed by at the back of my mind and suddenly I woke up from my pensiveness and asked myself, "What if something more interesting than Fiat 500 crops up later on, say two or three years from now, will I remain loyal to it?"

For now I think I will be loyal to it. I wouldn't want any other car in the forseeable future other than this thing of beauty.

Forgive me but I'm just so crazy about Fiat 500 right now like I used to be crazy about mini coopers when I was in Bangkok.

Oh, by the way, as if that was not enough to make my day another blue Fiat 500 was parked in one of the small streets that I passed by. How can they be so mesmerizing?

New Fiat 500



The first time I saw this amazing small car was last year. Everytime I walk to the city center I pass by small streets and I always see it parked there. Ever wonder if it's going out or what. I see them very sparingly and each time I feel excited. Now I love to have my own Fiat 500.

I named it Luigi because I thought it's what the car is called. But when I told my husband who is an Italian he said he never heard of a Fiat Luigi. So one day when he went with me I showed him the car and he said that it's the New Fiat 500.

Interestingly, New Fiat 500 is the Car of the Year 2008.

Trivia: Fiat stands for Fabbrica Italiana Automobile Torino
