New Cinquecento coming soon

Fiat is set to knock the BMW Mini for six with its new small car, the Neuvo Cinquecento (New 500).

However, the interior has been radically restyled by Frank Stephenson, the man responsible for the current Mini's interior décor.

Our sources described the new Cinq's interior as 'truly iconic'.

The New 500 will go sale towards the end of 2007 at prices that undercut the Mini.
