500C fashions a new fan club - Our dinky Fiat drop-top's timeless style and reasonable costs have earned it many fans

摘要

THE PROBLEM WITH fashions is that they're often short-lived. Anyone who bought a shell suit in the 1980s or a Tamagotchi in the '90s will testify to that. Only the best styles stand the test of time: Georgian architecture, Tiffany lamps, blue jeans... and I'd be tempted to add the retro Fiat 500 to that list. It has remained desirable through the fad stage and is just as sought after now as when it first hit showrooms more than two-and-a-half years ago - that's a long time in car years.
