The Fiat 500C... Just in time for summer 2011!
For fans of the open top Fiat 500C, the breaking news is there is confirmation that production will start March 28, 2011 and will end at the same time as the 500 sedan, in July, 2012. The 500C will also be marketed as a 2012 model.
The end of production of both the 500 sedan and 500C in July 2012 marks the end of the model year. It also corresponds to a major refresh of both models in Europe.
The Fiat 500 and 500C are due for a redesign in 2012
After the July production is over, we may assume that the new redesigned 500 will be phased in later that year.

Is the Abarth variant still expected in Q4/2011? If it is only available for three quarters (through Q2/2012), is that long enough for Fiat to recoup its costs?
Ah, what a dilemma. Paraphrasing the Bard, "To buy or not to buy, that is the question--Whether tís nobler to buy the 500 in December or to wait for Abarth anon---Whether to Harmannize or wait for Carlo to appear in the wings...To wait, ah there is the rub, for watching 500's on the highways and byways while driving lessor steeds would be agony, but being Abarthized would be sweet revenge!"
