A new Fiat 500 was announced by Italian automaker Fiat on May 5, 2006.^[2] Its launch date was announced to be on September 17, 2007 (exactly 500 days after the announcement [1], or the 50th anniversary of the original 500), but Fiat decided later to anticipate the launch to July 4 2007. It will be built in Tychy, Poland, alongside a sister model, the Ford Ka, and the other city car in the Fiat range, the Panda.

The new Fiat 500 has been officially presented on March 20 2007. The 500 is almost identical to the concept car Trepiùno, presented in 2004. Strictly a four-seater, three-door hatchback and about the same length as the Panda, it is intended to compete both in the city car market and the "fashion car" niche market.
