I just received this by email:





The text in the mailer read 'The hot Fiat 500 Pop in Bossa Nova White has electronically adjustable door mirrors, electric front windows and 14" steel wheels, so you can drive into spring looking suitably cool. And there's a fantastic finance promotion. Nice.'

How poor is it that the main marketable features on this brand new car are electronically adjustable mirrors, electric windows and steel wheels Obviously this cutting edge technology must only just be filtering down to us now, as it's most definitely not something you'd find in a 30 year old Honda...

Maybe they should also mention that it comes with seats and a steering wheel too!

For anyone that's interested, the cost of this technologically advanced automobile is £10,240. If you sign your soul away in the FIAT finance deal though you get a £750 deposit contribution plus a lifetime of FIAT based misery broken down into 3 year segments - happy days

Rant over

Reminds me of the ads for 2CVs which had lines like "Central locking (can reach all door handles from the driver's seat)" and "waterproof petrol tank".

Faster than a Ferrari going 70mph, Sailor?
