Fiat is putting all its eggs in one basket in the hopes that it won't break until they finally reach profitability in Europe. Yet another car badged a "500" has been revealed a seven-seat monocab based on the 500L.
The bad news for those wanting to ad +2 to their 500L in North America is that Fiat USA has decided agains importing it from Europe, for now at least.

The Panda-based platform has once again been stretched, but adding another 210mm (8.2 inches) has not compromised the looks of the car. The 500L Living, as it will be called, still only measures 4,350mm (171.3 inches) in length meaning it's no longer than a Volkswagen Golf.

The model will channel its inner people-carrying abilities through two petrol engines, the standard 1.4-liter and a 0.9 TwinAir 105, as well as two diesels, a 1.6-liter with 105 PS and a 1.3-liter MultiJet II with 85 PS.

On an amusing side note, the 500L Living looks exactly like the 500XL rendering we had a couple of years ago.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
