Known for providing its readers with insight into the authentic, the innovative and the irresistible, Travel + Leisure named the new 2012 Fiat 500 "Best Car" in its eighth annual "Travel + Leisure Design Awards." The 2012 Travel + Leisure Design Awards recognize new products, buildings and destinations that improve the travel experience through thoughtful design.
The Fiat 500 will be featured in the March issue of Travel + Leisure that will be available on newsstands February 17, 2012. In addition, the Fiat 500 will be recognized at the Travel + Leisure Design Awards event on March 7, 2012, at Department in Berlin, Germany.
"We are extremely honored to win the 'Best Car' Design Award title from Travel + Leisure," said Tim Kuniskis, Head of FIAT Brand North America. "In addition, our open-air Fiat 500 Cabrio, the exclusive 500 and 500c by Gucci models and the high-performance Fiat 500 Abarth provide drivers with the best of Italian style and driving excitement."
Building on the attributes that made the original version an icon more than 50 years ago, the 2012 Fiat 500 models provide an entirely new generation of drivers with the best of Italian motoring: craftsmanship, style and safety, combined with fun-to-drive small-car efficiency.
Expanding on the qualities that have made the original Fiat 500 (Cinquecento) a timeless and efficient automobile, the new 2012 Fiat 500 Cabrio (500c) adds open-air freedom and even more driving enjoyment. And with its cleverly designed multi-position power-retractable cloth top and iconic body-side silhouette, the new Fiat 500c delivers style with class-leading interior sound quality.
Arriving into the U.S. market in the first-half of 2012 and building on the excitement of the Cinquecento, the new Fiat 500 Abarth is designed for track-day enthusiasts and driving purists who want the ultimate high-performance small car with the pedigree of an exclusive Italian exotic.
Offering even more exclusivity and style, the limited edition 2012 Fiat 500 and 500c by Gucci models arrive at FIAT Studios nationwide this December. Full specs are available by clicking HERE.
