“Fiat named one of their cars after a college town in Illinois"” I hear you asking. No, not at all, my monolinguistic friend. Urbana is the Italian word for urban. And with this latest take on their perennial city car, it’s easy to see that the Fiat 500 Urbana Edition is designed to easily fit into city living.
Style Points
The Fiat 500 Urbana Edition, which just rolled onto the stand at this year’s New International York Auto Show, exists as a way for Fiat customers to brandish their personality, and stand out from the maddening city rabble. The Fiat 500 Urbana Edition is all about style and, sadly, not performance. There’s no word on a hot rod Abarth Urbana, but how could they not, eventually" The unique styling highlights include black-trimmed exterior lights and 16-inch “hyper-black” aluminum wheels. Special Treatments
On the inside, there are sleek interior cues all over the place, including black Sport Cloth front bucket seats with nifty silver accent stitching and a snazzy black instrument panel bezel. The Fiat 500 Urbana Edition comes in five exterior colors: Pompei Silver, Bianco White Ice, Perla White Tri-Coat, Granito Gray, and Metallo Gray. Yes, for those of you that speak Italian, that one color translates as “White White Ice” which I think was also the name for that horrid rapper from Florida, but we’ll let that slide.
