2015 Fiat 500X offers Italian Renegade spirit

The 500X will be built alongside the Jeep Renegade at Fiat's Melfi, Italy factory, with sales to begin during the first half of 2015.
Fiat is following up on the March unveiling of the Jeep Renegade with its own compact crossover, the oft-rumored and teased 500X, which is making its big debut later today at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show.

Fiat jokes 124 Spider as effective as Viagra

Fiat has released a follow up to its innuendo-laden 500X ad from last year. But rather than a crossover, um, reacting to a certain little blue pill, the company's new 124 Spider is the pill. Now, Road and Track readers might remember seeing something about this video. It originally aired as part of the 124 Spider's debut footage from the 2015 Los Angeles Auto Show. At the time, it wasn't supposed to become a commercial – it was just a riff on a cheeky spot meant to sell CUVs. This new commercial is identical to the original footage shown in LA. Using the same old Italian couple as the previous spot, this new ad features an Italian man run out of his Viagra, and run off to get more. As it turns out, he just didn't need it. That's about all you need to know, really. So check out the ad up top.

Fiat debuts 500 Ribelle, 500L Urbana Trekking

Fiat has introduced a pair of special edition models at the 2014 Miami Auto Show, trotting out the 500 Ribelle and the 500L Urbana Trekking.
The smaller of the two, the compact 500 Ribelle, expands on the 500's retro-chic looks by adding a red roof, spoiler and mirror caps, which should contrast nicely with the limited color palette of Bianco, Billet Argento, Grigio and Nero Puro. Aside from the paint changes, Fiat has added gloss black headlight and taillight bezels and black wheels. The cabin comes with a choice of two upholstery colors: gray and red or gray and black.
The five-door 500L Urbana Trekking adds a few pieces of matte-painted trim, in the form of new mirror caps, side sills and body side molding. Matte-black, 17-inch wheels spice up the exterior and match the standard black roof, while Fiat's six selectable colors (Verde Bosco Perla, Rosso Perla, Giallo, Bianco, Grigio Scuro and Blue Tornado) add a degree of customization to the limited-edition five-door. For some reason, the pretty matte paint shown in the gallery was a one-off item for the debut car, and won't be offered to consumers. Gloss black interior trim pieces and a mix of black leather and leatherette change up the interior ever so slightly. Beats Audio and satellite radio are both standard features.
