First Fiat 500s will have stick shifts

The 2012 Fiat 500 , heading to U.S. dealerships later than first expected, is enduring another hiccup: The first units arriving in dealerships in late February will have manual transmissions, the company said.

Still saving for a McLaren F1? You’ll need to try harder as they’ve hit £6.2 million

It was designed in the DS studio in France, something the company is keen to promote given China's desire for chic European luxury goods.
