(September 9, 2011) AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — Fiat is bringing the 2012 Fiat 500 and 500 Cabrio to shopping malls across the nation. Starting in 20 cities, consumers can get behind the wheel and experience first-hand the new Fiat 500 models.

"Our new Fiat 500 and 500 Cabrio deliver simply more — more Italian-by-design styling, more value and more efficiency, all intelligently tailored for our American customers," said Laura Soave, Head of Fiat Brand North America.

"We want people across the country to personally experience the exceptional attributes of the Fiat 500 so they know that there is a new alternative within the small-car segment."



The Fiat brand weekend test drives kick-off the month of September and will continue through November. Product specialists will be on hand to talk with consumers about the Fiat 500 and answer questions. All test drives will take place during mall hours, and test-drive participants will each receive a $15 mall gift card.
