If you live in Japan and you want to get something for your special someone for Valentine's Day, then slow dance down to your <a href="http://autoblog.com/fiat">Fiat</a> dealer and check out the <a href="http://autoblog.com/fiat/500">Fiat 500</a> Fiore Rosa. A holiday special, the pale metallic pink Cinquecento is limited to 150 examples and only on sale from February 14-17. But beware the connotations, because as far as we can glean from Google Translate, the 500 Fiore Rosa is a bargain model, getting halogen lights instead of bi-xenons, manual air-con instead of climate control, 14-inch steel wheels instead of 15-inch alloys, and going without chrome trim, glass roof, parking sensors and alarm.<br />
<br />
It's fitted with the TwinAir engine and gets the same price as the regular 500 TwinAir, however - 2,200,000 yen ($23,559 US). Other than the special name, we can't figure out where the 500 Fiore Rosa is hiding its treats, especially because it gets the el-cheapo wheel covers of the 500 Pop fitted with the 1.2-liter engine instead of the 500 TwinAir wheels. But if you want to make a statement, it's there. And we're talking to the women of Japan, because apparently <a href="http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2013/02/only-in-japan-pinkuecenti/">they're the ones who buy the gifts</a> on Valentine's day in Nippon.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2013/02/06/fiat-500-fiore-rosa-is-italian-japanese-cute-overload-fusion/">Fiat 500 Fiore Rosa is Italian-Japanese cute-overload fusion</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Wed, 06 Feb 2013 08:01:00 EST.
