The Fiat 500 (Type 312) is a supermini built by Italian automaker Fiat since 2007. The car is currently produced in Tychy, Poland, by Fiat Auto Poland S.A. and in Toluca, Mexico, by FCA US LLC. The 500 is a four-seater, three-door hatchback, designed as modern reinterpretation of Dante Giacosa's 1957 original rear-engined Fiat 500 or "Nuova 500". The car was announced on May 5, 2006,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=News/03.05.2006 Fiat has planned an international operation known as "500 wants you" )〕 and the first images were presented on March 20, 2007. The car was launched officially on July 4, 2007,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=News/05.07.2007 in a spectacular blaze of fireworks and entertainment the new Fiat 500 arrived )〕 with 250,000 people in attendance. This was the largest launch party held in the last ten years, a testament to the ''Nuova 500''’s huge popularity. The car was displayed in the squares of 30 cities in Italy for the launch.〔 The 500 is available with four different trim levels: Naked (not available in the United Kingdom or Italy; opting for this trim level means that the car does not have the seven airbags meaning that the passenger safety rating drops), Pop, Lounge, and Sport. Customers can also choose between 15 interior trims, nine wheel options, 19 decals, and 12 body colours. There are over 500,000 different personalized combinations of the 500 that can be made by adding all kinds of accessories, decals, interior and exterior colours, and trims.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=News/05.07.2007 IN TURIN THIS MORNING THE FIAT 500 WAS INTRODUCED TO THE WORLD'S MEDIA )〕 The car is also available with the Blue&Me navigation system. The American Sport version has the 1.4 litre Multiair engine, which is manufactured in Michigan.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=14.09.2010 Chrysler Group reveals first images of the North American Fiat 500 )〕 The car was chosen to herald the marque's official return to the American market after an absence of 27 years. The 1 millionth Fiat 500 rolled out of production line on 19 November 2012. 1,5 million mark was reached in 8 years of production in 2015. For 2016, all 500's (including the Abarth), are restyled. ==Trepiùno Concept== The design of the 2007 Fiat 500 is based on the Fiat Trepiùno concept introduced at the 74th Geneva Motorshow in 2004. The Trepiuno was designed by Fiat Stile Centre. The designer who penned the Trepiùno concept was Roberto Giolito. This car featured a distinctive retro-look resembling the original Fiat 500, which proved to be an enormously practical and popular vehicle throughout Europe.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Fiat Trepiuno )〕 The name "Trepiùno" is a contraction of "''tre più uno''", meaning "three plus one" in Italian; the car received this name because it was one step above a 2+2, as it was designed so that by deflating part of the dashboard around the front passenger's legs, and using high-tech thin-layered materials which take up less room than conventional upholstery, the front passenger seat could be slid forward far enough to accommodate another full-sized adult seat behind it; the fourth passenger, behind the driver, would occupy the smaller seat.〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fiat 500 (2007)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
