An online news source is reporting today that a (station) wagon body style is being strongly considered for the Fiat 500 in the wake of strong interest for the MINI's wagon variants.

They said station wagon in one sentance and 5-Door hatch in another. Those are two different types of body styles. A 5-door hatch is not a wagon.

It's going to be a 4-door 500.

I love it. When a company says "5 door hatch" what they are REALLY saying is "we know nearly all (potential) customers despise the idea of owning a station wagon (hence the explosion of CROSSOVERS) so we will call our new car ANYTHING but station wagon".
Isn't it Audi or BMW that calls their car with a sloped rear window and "5" doors a SPORTBACK ?

If it looks anything like this concept I think I can dig it! I want a 500 pretty badly but we need a 4dr car. The 2dr GTI isn't cutting it.
What I really like is this pchop of a 500 based multipla. Whoever cooked this up nailed it
I do love me some awkward looking cars though. Hell I think the fortwo is an awesome looking car.

What I was hoping for was a retro giardiniera.
Have some cool 500 wagon pics to wash that atrocity from your memory
They laid the little 2 cylinder on its side to give extra storage space in the back on these things. So cool!

It is somebody's rendering of what a multipla based on the nuevo 500 would look like.
The original multipla was based on the Fiat 600 and was legendarily ugly, supremely usefull and awesome and is much beloved all over the world
That damn thing seated 7 and was smaller than a VW beetle
Yeah, stow and go seating is such a new thing. This was in the 50's.

This car appeals so little to me that I'm already starting to regret the time it's taking from my life to write this.
