No surprises there. or that there is nothing Japanese to be seen anywhere in that list of accolades.

I'm ashamed to admit I like the new 500, although it could stand to loose a lot of weight.

Um that's a question mark not an apostrophe !

Question mark is a punctuation mark.

Superfreek was asking for you thoughts so use of the question mark is correct.

European cars only, interestingly they are not telling us what biggest cock ups they made either.

Water pump's plastic impellers fallingof VW, Audi and BMW engines. Alfa Romeo cambelts beaking before they are due for replacements. Some Opel and BMW engines have very short cambelt service intervals. Alfa Romeo's sele-speed gearboxes. New Alfa Romeo diesel stuffed after 40k. There's too many things to list, but basically, things that shouldn't fail do.

it'd be cool to belt around in an Abarth Esse Esse version. theres one on the net where the guy covered it in carbon fiber wrap! ha ha.
so what is its fuel economy like! I am guessing that would have been a big factor.

+1 You are trying pretty hard with that list being the culminated problems of all of Europe of a decade ago.

FIAT's engine.
The apostrophe is used here as the possessive, i.e., the engine "belongs to/is owned" by FIAT.

2001 just rang and they want their list back.
Got anything more modern!

They weren't quoting the most reliable engine.

for once
i take it you ignored the awards during the entire 80's & 90's decades, & are selectivily ignoring their placements during the double 0's

i think the joke is on the people who brought the first arbarth 500 model
& they would handel better with 15's on - thats ignoring the 60-40 split the 500 suffers from (why lump a light FWD with a live rear also !)

Give the fiat engine time to do the italian thing, It probably stood out mostly because it was unique being a 2 cylinder.

Total agree and when Fiat look at the more powerful 1.6 and 1.8 engines do they keep it Italian, nope they go to China and a Chery engine. That made a lot of sense because Chery already build Fiat and Alfa Romeo cars. Some people still think that??
