FIAT 500 SCOOPS ANOTHER MAJOR INDUSTRY HONOUR
Fiat has just picked up another important industry award for its iconic 500 hatchback, adding to its tally of 30 international awards received to date.
For the second year in succession, the stylish Italian supermini has just been crowned Best City Car in the 2009 Auto Express New Car Awards. In doing so, Fiat has maintained its remarkable dominance of this rapidly expanding category, as the Panda took the magazine’s City Car title for four consecutive years prior to the funky 500’s intervention in 2008, and now 2009.
Auto Express, Britain’s biggest weekly car magazine and website, has long recognised the Fiat Panda’s talents, and was equally quick to hail the new Fiat 500 when it was launched in the UK early in 2008. The magazine describes the 500’s second successive City Car title thus: “Its appeal now is stronger than ever. It has an incredible record in our road tests, and the range has now grown to include feisty hot hatches as well as a convertible model.
“Our definition of a top class urban runabout is a model that fits in perfectly with a daily commute, is designed to slot into the tightest city spots and doesn’t make too many demands on your budget. The Fiat 500 scores on all counts. Only a truly special car will be able to take the title from Fiat’s retro masterpiece.”
FIAT 500 2009 DESIGN CAR OF THE YEAR
The Fiat 500 has been elected 2009 Design Car of the Year by 59 journalists from around the world, beating 51 short listed cars from the world’s top car makers.
The Fiat 500, along with the Citroën C5 and the Jaguar XF, were selected as the finalists for the last round of judging at the New York International Motor Show, with Fiat’s chic and sophisticated small car taking the top design prize.
Four international design experts, namely Silvia Baruffali, Editorial Director of Auto & Design magazine, Robert Cumberford, design critic and journalist for Automobile and Auto & Design magazines, Akira Fujimoto, Editor-in-Chief of Car Styling magazine and Tom Matano, Executive Director of the School of Industrial Design at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, voted the Fiat 500 absolute winner of this year’s award.
“We are proud to receive this prestigious international award, as further endorsement of Fiat’s commitment to creating attractive, innovative cars, which express the best of Italian manufacturing capability,” commented Roberto Giolito, Fiat’s Head of Design. “Italian design has often been a step ahead of future trends in the automotive world and our latest models, spearheaded by the Fiat 500, are an expression of ‘practical beauty’, which is what the world expects of Italian cars. We will continue to work untiringly on innovative design, and endeavour to combine the best of the future with the historical, cultural and industrial identity of the Fiat brand.”
