How Fiat is ensuring males never buy its 500

[IGemini]

Jennifer Lopez still looks good in spite of her age. I'd take her over most of her younger "music" counterparts.

That said, I can find plenty of reason not to get a Fiat 500 since a lot of the alternatives look better (be it masculine or feminine, the 500 is just ugly, period), probably have more room, and don't use premium gas to get the same mileage.

Fiat needs to bring back the X1/9 back and have a real convertible and sports car.

Pretty bad...

shit, my 98 civic does 32 combined, and i drive it like its stolen. i also like the older hatch designs much better than this fiat 500. not that i wouldnt drive one, but it wouldnt be in my top 4 choices.

Sure I have and, gasp, I've even driven cars I don't like before. 😱

I don't get what the big deal is though. I try to be honest and objective about every car I've driven...unless it's a piece of shit chevy or dodge of course. 😉

what about this chevy?

the bertones were a great car. too narrow tho, i couldnt wear shoes and drive. i also had to take the top off and wear glasses. i loved that little car.

No thanks, I'm not a chopper guy and that thing would be heavy as hell.

I love the 500 and even I think that advert was too girly. It doesn't have to be a girly car, particularly not the abarth.

Also "Two things America got right: Cars and Freedom"... Lol epic fail.

Funny, I passed by the house near me with the 1970 El Camino and the brand new Fiat 500 parked in the driveway. Both cars are backed in, the El Camino hasn't moved in forever but the Fiat is bright and shiny and clean and the owner had his garage door open...he has 2 Harleys in there. He was out trimming the trees in his front yard and he didn't look like a girly man. Maybe it's his wife's car but how many women back their car into the driveway? The Fiat is ALWAYS backed in to the driveway.

Wait, why would Jennifer Lopez and her fine fine ass make me not want to buy a 500?
