Think small: Mini, Smart and Fiat woo American car buyers
While it’s 27 inches longer than the original Fiat 500 Coupe, the Italian maker’s new 500L is positively minuscule when parked alongside more mainstream crossovers, SUVs and minivans.
Slip inside, however, and you may be in for a surprise. Despite the Fiat 500L’s pint-sized footprint, it offers as much interior space as the big Chrysler 300 sedan. Big things can come in small packages, or so Fiat hopes more and more Americans will discover.
