To be built in Mexico, the Fiat 500 probably will show up in sporty 500 Abarth trim, a convertible, and other specialty versions of this European-Car-of-the-Year.
Just read that. I'd actually think about buying a 500 if/when it came to the States, provided the back-seat is dog-friendly and it's offered with a real transmission. I do wish FIAT would have E36 M3-canned Jeep altogether, though.
And the TDI Jetta is on the short-list of possible Saturn replacements, too.
