Eco estate agents use Fiat 500 as official vehicle
London Residential, an estate agency in Candem, London, has bought five Fiat 500 1.2 cars, as well as four electric scooters as transports for its agents. This isn't, of course, the first time the popular mini car has been used for advertising purposes thanks to its "iconic" status. London Residential claims it chose this model, with CO2 emissions at 119 g/km, as well as electric scooters in order to reduce the environmental impact of its agents when meeting potential customers and driving them around. The company also applies other green-friendly policies at its headquarters. Agents in the U.S. take note: the 500 might arrive stateside as well.

The US version is going to be fitted with a 3.5 litre turbo charged V6 eco engine.
The 3.5 turbo V6 will offer the V8 power demanded by North American buyers with the advantage of V6 economy. Fuel economy suffers slightly compared with the 1.2 litre base model offered elsewhere.

Well done! However you seem to have forgotten to give us the cup-holder count.
