Exclamation Ellezero from Fiat

They'll be showing this at Geneva in March. Supposed to be smaller that a Countryman and on a wider platform than the 500. I wonder where they got the inspiration for the design? Roof looks very familiar.

Oh, good! A four-door dud to go with the 2-door dud.

I wish it all the success the 500 has had in the U.S. .

Wow! Four doors, just like the new Chevy Spark! It looks like the CM is definitely at the center of the crosshairs...

And the MINI has a refined version of the 2003 model Fiat Panda roofline, not a lot is new in the world of car design.

Hmm, strange it even has the little vertical fins on the back window and the rear doors have the same exact window frame.

I think that "mashup" was done using a grafted Countryman roof. These "spy shots" show there are clear differences, but some similarities. Overall, yuck.
