Four-door Fiat 500 to Round Out American 500 Family

Fiat is rumored to be working on a new four-door 500 sub-compact. The 500 Multipla will complete Fiat's offerings to the American market. European markets are schedule to get the four-door 500s in 2011. Of course in Europe the Multipla will be classified as a small minivan. I wonder if that would make it a mini-minivan?

Chrysler had recently placed a 500 in front of a Italian Boutique in one Detroit suburb. They then recorded some video as passers by clicked photos of the 500 and took the time to check it out. However the video has been recently removed for view by Chrysler.

The question that will remain unanswered for some time is the reception the 500 line-up will receive here in the states. Will the American public, use to having lager vehicles, embrace the smaller more fuel efficient 500s?
