While the
Fiat
500L is on its way to
dealerships this year, the 500XL (if that ends up being its production name) isn’t expected to hit showroom floors until later in 2013. It is believed that it will not be coming to the U.S., the
rumor being that Fiat doesn’t think Americans are ready for a tiny seven-seater. We might see all of them at the
Paris Motor Show next month and get a handle on which 500 will go where.
