2010 Fiat 500C ready for the US market as a Chrysler product - by Matt deLorenzo
One of the prime candidates for product sharing between Fiat and Chrysler is the diminutive 500 city car that has taken Europe by storm. If the deal holds up, we can only hope that the 2010 Fiat 500C is part of the model mix. Like the original 1957 cabriolet it is patterned on, the 500C features fixed roof rails with a retractable soft top.
European buyers can order the new 500C with a choice of three powerplants, a 75-bhp 1.3-liter 4-cylinder turbodiesel, a 69-bhp 1.2-liter and a 100-bhp 1.4-liter gasoline engines. If the 500C is exported to the U.S. or built at Chrysler's Toluca, Mexico, assembly plant, expect that it would come with just the 1.4-liter four. A car this small undoubtedly will get excellent fuel economy—somewhere in the 35-mpg neighborhood for the U.S. 500C would not surprise us one bit.
