Fiat is hoping to end its struggles for success in the American market by introducing an electric version of its 500 in 2024.

A Florentine winemaker named Paola, or Paolina (...

Fly down to Rome or any other beautiful Italian city, and you’ll discover how successful small cars are in the Bel Paese. To be fair, it’s difficult to fit an SUV on those narrow streets or find a reasonable spaced parking spot where you can park a large car. Necessity has pushed Europeans and mostly Italians to design and create some of the quirki...

The Fiat 126 is an adorable car. It looks like a Little Tikes Cozy Coupe with a license plate and turn signals. Fiat made nearly 5 million 126s over its 28-year production life from 1972 to 2000. It was made in factories in both Italy and Poland. All over Europe in the latter quarter of the 20th century, the 126 was seen as a cheap family car for h...
