    Wouldn’t be surprised. The first one was a flop. Is there reason to believe the second attempt would be more successful?

    Fun anecdote – the girlfriend of a a coworker of mine bought a 500e. Bought. As in, outright. Not a lease. Ouch, ouch, ouch. It was something like 35K as I remember. Three years later those things were going to auction at 4 grand.

      The first one was a flop.

      It was a compliance car. I don’t think you can really call it a flop. Also, the OG Fiat 500e is still the most fun EV I’ve driven, actually better than the gas version. 500e of the current gen is actually a top seller in several EU markets, so it’s not a flop at all.

      Whether the 2nd gen 500e will sell in numbers in the US? Well, that is another story entirely.
