500C USA corporate website up!

[Giallo Edizione]

Did I miss something or am I first to discover the 500C has been added to the FIAT USA website, including pricing and build your own?

$4K upgrade.

I noticed that. Also noticed a couple of other changes.

Looks like Blue and Me is now listed as standard on the Pop Hatch model, no price change.  Also, the Comfort and Convenience package shows as $650 for the manual and automatic Sport models with heated seats listed.   No more disclaimer for no heated seats on 5 speeds.

Could be an error but hoping my 5 speed Sport miraculously has heated seats when it is/was built.  

I'm sure there are more changes but those were the main ones I noticed.

Caught that. It is up as of today. So, you can get a nicely equiped POP manual 500 c for 21k.

Very cool!

I also noticed the disclaimer "more configurations are available than seen here" or some such on the options list box down at the bottom so this is just SOME of the different options available so to get more, you gotta go to the dealer I guess.

That said, they DO show the spare as a separate option on the 500C, but part of a package on the sedans however.

I noted that Blue & Me is now standard on all trims, but the Bose system isn't on the base pop, not a deal breaker as most factory systems today are quite decent and the door/rear speakers may be decent enough in the bass but one could fit a small Bazooka sub or similar if necessary I would image to the base system.

Interesting stuff!

Does this mean we can order 500c now?

Looks like they added leather steering wheel as standard now on the 500 hardtop Pop...I don't think that was listed prior, was it?    Are Alloys next, bring it?

Fiat is listening.  Maryland just became a hands free state, so.  


The Actual Mocha is much lighter in person than the Website picture.   Not sure why you can't get the Red top with the Mocha 500C?  That would be my choice.  

Like to sit in of these and just to see how much rear visibility suffers, not much from the reviews, but some.

500C is cool.

500C is cool.

I doubt the alloys will be standard on the Pop, as they aren't in Europe so that is one way to help differentiate the base car from the upper trim levels. and those alloy wheels aren't cheap.

Speaking of websites, the Fiat worldwide website still does not list USA

I didn't even see the spare listed as an option for the POP model when I was using the new configurator.

Hi Sam,

The US is listed in the drop down menu. Goes to FiatUSA.com.

500c are on the way to the dealerships now. When you checking the dealership's websites, there are 500c in transit to most dealerships, and you can see some of them are $50,000+. I talked to my dealership about that and he said the $50,000 is mostly a mistake on the website.

If you use that link that shows the window sticker when you put in the VIN it will show you the correct price for those 500C's.
