Re: White Cocoa....500
Thanks all guys! 
really,in last years i never only think one time that i will take the decision to buy a FIAT..
but,this one looks really cool..
so here we are..
They delivered us the car last week,and we..ops she
makes only 250km,i drove it only to take in and out of the box.. 
but on the open road from the passenger side i can tell you that it seems to be sit in a Cayenne..is high!! 
The engine is the 100HP 1.4cc,and only in "sport" mode seems happy to be under the car..,otherwise seems sleeping.. 
,so in this weekend i teach my gfriend to take the rpm on the red line to wake up it a bit ..
Temm,the one you choose looks great,i whant stripes too,but my gfriend was not to sure,so we choose only the red calipers,and 16" rims..
for now is all,the car after a week is still running..so be happy
HAHAHAHA

Re: White Cocoa....500
Thanks again guys..
next week end,i will make more pics with the Turbo,in way to see better the size..
The colour it's no pearl white..in Italy is name is Bianco Bianco if i'm not wrong..
but looks instead different from the Carrara white of Porsche,that is more white..

EURO NCAP FIVE-STAR SAFETY RATING FOR FIAT 500
The Fiat 500 has just achieved the prestigious Euro NCAP five-star crash safety rating, (with a total of 35 points), so taking over top spot in its segment for safety.
This important award adds to those assigned recently to the Fiat Bravo and Grande Punto, and confirms the special attention Fiat Automobiles SpA pays to all aspects of driver and passenger protection.
This is the first time that a car of this size has achieved five stars and the 500 is now one of the safest vehicles on today's roads. To achieve the rating, Fiat designers examined every possible type of accident: front and side impacts, roll-overs and rear-end collisions. The different speeds at which collisions take place, different types of obstacles and the protection of occupants with widely varying physical characteristics, were also taken into consideration.
The Fiat 500 offers, as standard, two dual stage front airbags, two front side airbags for chest/pelvis protection, two window-bags and a driver's knee airbag. Front seat-belts with a double pretensioner and load limiter are also standard equipment.
As well as incorporating a high performance braking system, the Fiat 500 features ABS anti-lock brakes with EBD (Electronic Brakeforce Distribution) and ESP (Electronic Stability Program). This sophisticated system is standard on the 1.4 16v version and an option on the other two versions (1.2 and 1.3 MultiJet).

Re: White Cocoa....500
Darius,
Your pics helped to finally sway me and I've placed an order for a 1.4 model for the UK launch which should see me get the car for early next March The dealer told me he's had quite a few owners of expensive cars (including an F430 owner) place deposits. Seems there are a few of us who started out driving small Fiats for whom the 500 has really pressed the nostalgia button

Haha... isnt your F430 not also a kind of a FIAT?
I guess as much as your 997 is a VW Golf.
Great said! Unfortunatly, the Porsche really have on every second part a VW and Audi sign!

Re: White Cocoa....500
Congrats to you and your girlfriend
It is IMHO one of the most remarkable car of the moment, because obviously the designers/engineers have been able to play a major part in its conception (read: bring creativity), unlike most of the new cars nowadays (look at the last Laguna or Twingo to name just a few).
It is so fresh, and although it is considerably bigger than the original one, seen in the today traffic it has managed to retain its compacity.

I know, I had a 997 too. But what am I saying. If I look inside my Aston, I also see many Volvo parts! It's just the way car industry is these days!
For those interested in the size of the original model, I can tell you that it is absolutely tiny! I saw this on the streets of Melbourne a few weeks ago, and it is arguably smaller than a smart car.
