    Fiat 500

    The Fiat 500 was first introduced in 1957, lasting through until 1975 and the name didn't reappear until 2007 when the brand released this small hatchback.

    Similar to the Mini Cooper, the new Fiat 500 - priced from $19,250 to $23,250 - draws inspiration from the original but is bigger and better equipped. Trim levels for the Fiat 500 range from the base 500 Lounge, to the top of the range 500 Club.

    Two seems to be a popular number with the 500 as there are two engines, bodystyles and transmissions available for purchase.
