Still, the 500 looks far better than it sounds, but that's because it is cute.  'Europeans' just don't have an issue with small cars. Small cars are seen as an answer to a transport need, and in no way condemned for their size, or judged on it; in fact, a decrepit, gold drenched, overdressed, face lifted and botoxed permatanned saddo in a small car would be far less condemned than a similar freak seen travelling in  a huge ego-sad limo, or luxo sports barge for that matter. Why would such a person be 'condemned' anyway some will ask? Because they are trying too hard, and convincing no-one,  I would answer.  Less is more!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Colin Smith]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 8th 2008 9:26PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Fiat 500 Pepita sets gold standard for small cars]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/08/fiat-500-pepita-sets-gold-standard-for-small-cars/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/08/fiat-500-pepita-sets-gold-standard-for-small-cars/</guid><description><![CDATA[Man those are gorgeous wheels]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Tristan OTierney]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 8th 2008 11:52PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Fiat 500 Pepita sets gold standard for small cars]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/08/fiat-500-pepita-sets-gold-standard-for-small-cars/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/08/fiat-500-pepita-sets-gold-standard-for-small-cars/</guid><description><![CDATA[Build one in full carbon-fiber.
