Fiat 500 meets its ancestor video

How does Fiat's new TwinAir compare to the 500?

my great grandpa was dante giacosa, the designer of the old one!! so nice to see sooo many people that like his idea!

As silly as it looks, I still love my 500 Abarth! Sure, I catch hell for driving a tiny car in America, but I don't care because this car ALWAYS puts a smile on my face. That glorious exhaust note, the surprising quickness and the ability to make believers out of people who know nothing about it or do not like it all put a smile on my face.

Twin Air engine is amazing, I had a Lounge Model it was so quick, so fast! It flew along the highways here in Australia overtaking everything in its path!

I had one built about 1968. My first car, taught me how to use a gear box. Synchromesh on the way up crash on the way down. Changing down you needed to get the road speed and engine speed right. As for the top speed I had four in and we reached 70 mph in about 5 minutes. 50 mpg plus. Great first car and fun to drive but I doubt many young people could drive one today.

Thank you for posting "Fiat 500 meets its ancestor video."

the old 500 is so reliable and easy to repair, and has such good mileage.. that in italy it's still around in quite huge numbers. i can't think of any other car with so many years that is still around in massive numbers.

I owned two of the old ones. A 61 and a 69. They never broke down, the most reliable cars I have ever owned.

i thought the 2011 500 was small, until i saw the old one again

[herbienbrian]

my father rented one of the new 500's.

it was great fun!! I instantly fell in love with it.

Bella coppia....vecchia 1957 e nuova 2007!!!

God the new 500 needs to back the hell off of the old one. Freaking tailgater.

Wow I never thought I might like any other car show after watching Top Gear for so long. I actually started with the Aventador review but I like everything so far.
Nice to see some older stuff in the vids as well. 500 is awesome :D

I really wished this video was longer. Like a 30 minutes longer!

@Karl21836 I had forgotten about the beetle, but I guess that even the original would be bigger than the new 500...

It's not mine, I just drove it twice in my life, had it borrowed for a day from my uncle. It's still alive, but not used any more, he replaced it with a mid 90's Punto. It was the 16.5 HP version, what about yours?
