Never knew they made a fiat 600? Wonder if that is coming to the uk.

It's a 600 = Seicento. They just badge them differently over there for some reason.

I posted a response to the story questioning the accuracy of the of the factual reporting and whether the sub editors were still on holiday but it hasn't appeared. I think my IP address maybe blocked from leaving comments.

I've thought of doing something similar before.

Quote from mail website -

'I am always highly nervous of people driving bright red cars. it seems to me that the colour often indecates an overly competative and agressive driver. Am I wrong?'

I love it.

I love it.

Even more worrying about that comment is the amount of apparent approval it got.

You'll never believe what "600" is in Italian.

What, ramming a small fiat off the road then battering the driver?!?

"The Fiat 600, worth £7,750 and with a top speed of 93mph, ..."
Why the fk do they do this st?

Truly shoddy 'journalism'.

I'd hope so, considering 50% of my family are Italian. Although I'll never know why they need to differentiate between numbers and words for different markets?

It's not just Fiat, loads of manufacturers do it.

Think it's to do with perception of marketability in each country.

Maserati Four Door doesn't sound quite as alluring as a Maserati Quattroporte either.

Brilliant example, that made me chuckle.

Surely people like this are in some sort of care?!

thats what sicento means. why badge it six hundred when you can badge it 600?

I have also attempted this, but it doesn't seem as though the Daily Mail likes negative comments about their shoddy articles
