This eye-catching, red Fiat 500 is a special car: #463 of the limited Prima Edizione (first edition) cars. While there have been some other special editions of the Fiat 500, including the Gucci, the Prima Edizione is the only limited number, one-time series so far. As such it became an instant collector's item.
At its heart the Prima Edizione is the desirable 500 "Sport" model, with extra amenities added. It has the upgraded Sport seats in dark grey with silver cloth inserts, the terrific seven-speaker BOSE CD stereo, lower body cladding, rear spoiler, and foglights; plus the best-looking alloy wheels on the market -- in this case with black inserts for a striking contrast. The car also has SIRIUS satellite radio, and the most important option offered on a Fiat -- the huge glass sunroof. All Fiats have a peppy engine that makes them fun to drive, and the 16-inch alloy wheels and sport suspension combine with the five-speed manual transmission to maximize the driving experience in this car. For all that it is fun to drive, this car also is famous for sipping very little fuel. On a round-trip from DC to North Carolina last year, I averaged 41.2 miles per gallon! Around town I get in the mid-30s. You would have to work hard to push it under 30 MPG for a tank of gas. Some other things I love about this car: It has hill assist, so it won't slide backward for a few seconds if you are starting on a hill. And it has a charger for an iPhone plus dock for stereo input in the dash. I also appreciate Fiat's focus on safety. With traction control and antilock brakes, you can get out of most messes. And there are seven airbags to help you if things ever get really bad. The Prima Edizione was offered exclusively to members of the American Fiat Club. I was waitlisted but got lucky and took delivery of this car in March 2011. Since then I have driven it 32,000 miles and I can only describe them as "trouble-free." This car is totally reliable and every drive in it has been a pleasure. All services were performed by the Fiat dealer under a care package and all were done right the first time. Now much more than when I bought it I know that the Fiat 500 is an outstanding product. So why am I selling my Prima Edizione? I love it so much that I have upgraded to a Fiat 500 Abarth, and my new car was just delivered. So it's time for my first one to find a new home and a new owner that it will serve as well as it did me. I've absorbed all the depreciation, but this is still a pretty new car, with just 32,500 miles, maintenance done last month (oil change, new spark plugs, etc.). Most importantly you will be getting a full year or 17,500 miles of the remaining full factory warranty! A warranty like this can save any buyer $1,000 or more in a year. Plus since the original warranty has a year left on it, a new owner can get a good rate for an extended warranty if desired. This car has very few flaws. There is a crack in the windshield (shown in one of the photos, looking out; it's on the passenger side and not enough of a crack to make it fail inspection so I didn't worry about it) and one tiny door ding behind the driver's door. There is some curb rash on three of the wheels as shown too -- no dents or major damage, just the outer rims are scraped. (I never usually scrape rims; these ones extend out a bit due to lower profile tires which apparently makes them vulnerable). I bought this Prima Edizione planning to keep it for 5-10 years and I've cared for it accordingly. It's been garaged most of its life. It's been shown at car shows and Fiat Club events. I realize it sounds corny, but owning this car will really make you happier every drive you take. I am starting this auction for a very low price and with no reserve, because I am confident that my wonderful car will sell itself. As to what it's worth -- well, currently it's impossible to find a BASE Fiat 500 for under about $11,000. And this one has thousands in options above that -- the Sport package, the BOSE stereo with SIRIUS, the sunroof, climate control... and the most priceless element, the fact that is it one of only 500 Prima Edizione cars, complete with badges on the B pillar, seat backs, and dash. I have seen other Prima Ediziones selling in the mid- to high-teens, but I'm happy for the enthusiasts to decide. You get to determine what this one is worth. Many thanks for your interest in this listing. All questions are welcomed and will be answered as soon as possible. I require a $500 PayPal deposit within 48 hours of the auction's end, and the remainder of the funds should be paid on delivery or within one week with a bank check or equivalent. I have the clear Virginia title in hand and can mail it upon payment clearing. I have space to store the car so once you have paid there is no rush for you to pick it up. I live 10 miles from Washington, D.C. so if you are local come test drive it and if you live far away, you should plan a vacation -- fly out and drive your hot red Fiat 500 home! I'll be glad to meet you at the airport or otherwise work with you to make this an easy and pleasant transaction. I'd also consider driving to some locations to deliver the car at a mutually convenient time... it is after all a joy to drive. |

Dodge, Ram, Jeep — Stellantis — dumped a ton of news: Here's a roundup
Thu, Jul 8 2021Stellantis hit us with an absolute deluge of information regarding its future electric vehicle plans Thursday, including a roadmap for each of its brands to reach a goal of making electrified vehicles 80% of the company's total global volume by 2030. We'll hit all of the highlights here, with an emphasis on those that matter most to the U.S. marketplace. Stellantis previews 4 electric platforms: Here's how they'll be used This is the method behind the rest of Thursday's madness. Eventually, Stellantis will migrate its electrified vehicles onto one of these core platforms based around a new common EV powertrain architecture.  Dodge will launch the 'world's first electric muscle car' in 2024 It looks like Dodge will invoke its 60s heritage (peep the illuminated "Fratzog" on the nose) for a new, all-electric muscle car. Based on the STLA Large platform, it's projected to have a 0-to-60 time as low as 2 seconds and a range of up to 500 miles. The automaker also hinted at a maximum power output of as high as 886 horsepower courtesy of a pair of 330-kilowatt electric motors.  Jeep will have 4xe plug-in hybrid models across the lineup by 2025 The iconic 4x4 brand will have a plug-in hybrid variant of every model by 2025. The U.S.-market Compass 4xe is expected to debut this summer, and the Wagoneer 4xe has already been announced. The Grand Cherokee 4xe will be shown at the New York International Auto Show in August.  Fully electric Ram 1500 will begin production in 2024 You didn't think the Ford F-150 Lightning would get the space all to itself, did you? Ram says it will have an electrified Ram 1500 on the market soon. Will it be fast enough to beat GM?  Stellantis teases mystery electric Chrysler concept This one's a genuine puzzler. We've reached out to Chrysler for details, but for now, all we know is that this all-electric concept appears production-friendly and will ostensibly ride on the same STLA Large platform as the Dodge muscle car.  Opel Manta E will be the electric revival of the classic German coupe We'll forgive you if you'd forgotten that Opel was now part of Stellantis, and with new ownership comes new opportunity. The company revived the Manta nameplate as a high-riding coupe/hatchback concept.  Fiat says all Abarth models to be electric from 2024 This likely won't matter much in the U.S. market, where the 500X will soon be the only vehicle it sells, but Fiat's performance division is going all-electric.
Marchionne may stay with FCA until 2020
Mon, Aug 31 2015We might get to see Sergio Marchionne and his vast array of sweaters in the auto industry for even longer than expected. The FCA CEO suggested last year that he would retire from the automaker when its current five-year plan was complete in 2018. Now, he has tentatively extended that point out to at least 2020. "I can do this for another five years if you push me, right? Beyond that, I ain't gonna do it, and I don't want to," he said to Automotive News. That would give Marchionne a 16-year career at the top from joining Fiat in 2004 to possibly leaving FCA in 2020. Although, take the CEO's statement with a grain of salt because he has made multiple statements about the timing for his retirement. In 2012, Marchionne said he would only remain in charge until 2015, which is, well, now. Those five years might also go quite quickly because Marchionne is a busy guy with the Ferrari IPO, the attempted merger with General Motors, implementing FCA's five-year plan, and many other projects. He's already considering the next CEO, though. "My purpose in life is to find the Kuniskises of the world, the Manleys, the Biglands, the Palmers," Marchionne said to Automotive News, referencing the heads at Dodge, Jeep, FCA North America, and the company's chief financial officer, respectively. "I told them, 'One of you is going to do what I do one day. I don't know who that is, but one of you is going to do it.'"

nuTonomy beats Uber to market with self-driving taxi rides, and the latest Corvette ZR1spy shots | Autoblog Minute
Sat, Aug 27 2016Software developer nuTonomy beats Uber to market with self-driving taxi rides in Singapore. A 124 Coupe could soon join Fiat's roadster lineup, and we have the latest spy shots of the new Corvette ZR!. Senior Editor Greg Migliore reports on this edition of Autoblog Mintue. Senior Editor Greg Migliore reports on this edition of Autoblog Mintue. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Massachusetts based software company, nuTonomy, launched its self-driving taxi service in Singapore this week. nuTonomy specializes in developing software for self-driving cars. Testing of the companies ride-hailing smartphone app occurred in Singapore, where riders were able to book a free driverless ride. nuTonomy's robo-taxi fleet is comprised of Renault Zoes and Mitsubishi i-MiEVs. Engineers from nuTonomy were present at this public launch as a safety measure. [00:00:30] The company will now continue to collect data and conduct more testing with its self-driving cars in Singapore, Michigan and the United Kingdom. nuTonomy has plans to offer widely-available commercial service in Singapore in 2018. nuTonomy's aggressive play in Singapore has put Uber and its partner Volvo in the unlikely position of playing catch-up. Autocar reported this week that we should expect FCA to add a Coupe [00:01:00] to it's 124 roadster lineup. When? Well, seeing as the 124 Spider just recently made it US dealers we may have to wait until next year to see a hardtop Fiata. It's tough to predict what kind of performance we can expect out of a 124 Coupe but in the U.S. the Spider has 160hp using a 1.4-l turbocharged engine. So the car you see in these pictures is actually Fiat's 124 Rally car that will be used for competition. [00:01:30] Now that's not exactly how the street car will look but it gives you an idea of what a 124 with a fixed roof is gonna look like. This week we got another look at what we think is the Chevy Corvette ZR1 and its massive rear wing. Now to be clear, the images that we're seeing are actually demonstrations. The car was actually captured without the rear wing. However, our spy photographers photoshopped the wing, which we've seen before, on some of these new shots just so you could get [00:02:00] a sense of what the car looks like driving around in it's most recent state. Now we think this car will make more than 700hp, which is kind of a magic number. The Hellcats from Chrysler make 707 so certainly GM wants to beat them.
