OK
Imagine that your parents have given you 8 lakhs to spend on a new car.
Either you can go for a boring i20 which you may even see being driven by a couple of oldies.
Or you may buy an 500 which will help you maintain your uniqueness and add some excitement and WOW factor.
There are still people who value this "UNIQUENESS" and want it without spending too much.
The 500 makes perfect sense for them.
And believe me, there are plenty of such people.
So the 500 may sell in decent numbers.![[clap]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Clap.gif "Clap [clap]")

Fiat 500 for the win.

A college going girl/boy hardly cares if it has 3 doors or 5.
If you have a Merc C class/Honda accord parked at home for long distances and this is supposed to be your college ride, You would definitely like some exclusivity.

Exactly. If the Zen Carbon and Zen Steel were not limited editions, they would have definitely sold 1000+ units at least.
Review: Fiat 500 and India, How well does it match?
FIAT announced its plans earlier this year to release the iconic “FIAT 500″ along with Bravo, Punto and Linea. But how well will this car perform in the Indian Market ? The small car is not that small on price. But yesteryear stats can be wrong, infact looking at stats of the newly launched model like Skoda Fabia, there is a good market for high-end small hatches. And above all Fiat seems to have a good hope with the new new line of economy & high-end cars and better service backed up by the TATA.
But The 500 when launched might already have competetion in the market with international players like Volkswagen and Mini Cooper.
Erasing its name as one of the “cheap” car (..padmini..) maker, FIAT is all set to roll this baby with a 11-13 lakh Price tag. The car, all in all is a compact, superb and ***y package to own. Its incredibly cute and real fun to drive. Though indians might not like its practicality with 2 doors, but if you can spend that much, who cares anyway ? The coolest looking part of this cutie is the retro dashboard and odo/temp screen, which in fact can also show you your text messages !
