Fiat 500 takes Microsoft route
Posted on Jul 6, 07 12:02 AM PDT
Fiat has a brand new 500 in the making, andit comes with a choice of 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4 litre engines that can cough a maximum of 100bhp. While that's pretty ordinary, what makes the Fiat 500 stand out is the Microsoft logo in the cabin. Apparently, this vehicle will use a Windows Mobile-based media and navigation system known as "Blue & Me". Features include voice activation, steering wheel buttons, a dashboard screen, Bluetooth connectivity, and a USB socket. Thankfully, Microsoft's involvement doesn't include the engine so you won't have anything to worry about, whether it is the Blue Screen of Death or the Red Ring of Doom. The new Fiat 500 is tipped to be released Stateside in 2010.

The 500 is definitely NOT coming to the USA according to FIAT.

So no one ever translated that old "If Microsoft Made Cars" joke into Italian?
