Introducing Bernadette Mathie, our FIAT Specialist

When I was first asked to transfer to the FIAT brand I wasn't sure what to think. I was two years old when FIAT left North America, so naturally my familiarity with the brand was quite limited. Now they were back bringing with them their flagship model, the iconic Cinquecento (500 to us North Americans.)

Almost from the moment I started researching the renowned automaker, I was blown away by how accessible the brand is. Maybe it's because from its inception in 1934 to its post WWII explosion, to its triumphant European relaunch in 2007, FIAT has made 'listening to the people' and giving them what they want their guiding principle.

One doesn't have to be an enthusiast to fall in love with the new FIAT 500. For me, it was love at first sight and "till death do we part" at first drive. The elements of classic Italian design conjure up images of Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck in "Roman Holiday". One is instantly inspired to jump in the front seat and take a day long vacation from life. At the same time every inch of the new 500 screams modern European elegance.

As someone who can usually tell a genuine Prada bag from a knock-off, I can confidently say the new FIAT 500 is the real deal.

  Rave Reviews

"...the new FIAT 500 is a blend of emotional heritage, a high level of standard features and rational appeal that have been combined with modern Italian style, technical brilliance, and an affordable price. The new FIAT 500 is fun to drive, cleverly designed, and fuel efficient with an upbeat attitude, a lot of character - and it's price to compete."

Bob McHugh, Vancouver Province

"...whimsical design inside and out that reflects the kind of Italian styling not even close to being available in the bland small car segment."

Andrew McCredie, Vancouver Sun

"On looks alone, it's difficult to not get emotionally attached to this new entry, back in the North American marketplace after a 27-year absence. Get behind the wheel and the romance becomes even more intense. This iconic Italian car arrives with impressive credentials. It has earned 60 international awards, including European Car of the Year in 2008, and the enthusiasm and passion many show for the brand in Europe is unparalleled."

Clare Dear, National Post

"The car attracted a lot of interest when it was parked and thumbs-up signals while we zipped along the highway. It seems the Cinquecento strikes the same emotional chord as the original."

Clare Dear, National Post

"Just like an Italian suit is designed to fit each person's unique body, the 500 can be personalized to fit its owner's distinctive tastes...this endearing car that has an Italian badge, drives well, is good on gas, and, most of all, will get noticed everywhere it goes."
