    I’d gladly pay a lot more for anything that’s not from Stellantis.

    Not only is the company only a fair-weather EV manufacturer, but they’re also responsible for some of the worst vehicles on the road today. The 500e may be right for some people, and I don’t hold it against anyone who likes the 500e. But for me, it’s a hard pass.

      Yeah, my understanding of Fiats in general is that they’re unreliable death traps. Therefore, I see a lot of them for sale on the shady car lots here.

      Higher MSRP than the Bolt, unknown range, no tax credit, foreign parts and probably no one local to work on them, and Fiat reputation. Very hard pass.

        Welp, Bosch pretty much made the '13 - '19 Fiat and not Fiat/Chrysler so they were great little e-rockets.

        The actual Fiat cars made by Fiat, that’s a hard pass.

        I had a 2013 500e and my neighbor had the ‘regular’ 500 it was Night and Day difference in quality, fit, finish, reliability. (I drove it for a month after he moved and waited for me to bring it to CarFax? to sell)

        The Mrs. would love a new (up to) 199 range? Fiat 500e and the Cabrio would be the cherry on top for her.
