We were just wondering last week if Fiat/Chrysler will offer the Fiat 500C convertible when the 500 comes to the United States in 2010. Today it has been confirmed that Chrysler will build and sell four versions of the 500 minicar in the United States starting 2010, reports Automotive News.

Robert Giolito, designer of the Fiat 500 and the head of Fiat styling, confirmed that Chrysler will build four different models of the compact Fiat car including a hatchback, convertible, station wagon and sporty hatchback.

Giolito said that a fifth model, a four-wheel-drive SUV, is also a possibility.

Fiat announced last week that it sells 54 percent of the 500 outside of Italy and expects the number to grow significantly when the car goes on sale in the United States. The Fiat 500 will be the only model that will where the Fiat badge when it comes to the stateside.

    The Fiat patent fraud. About the Fiat hybrids, the technology double clutch with electric motor between has been stolen by a patent that Fiat Company has never wanted to purchase, but only shamelessly to copy. This hybrid solution will be the basic technology with Chrysler’s electric and hybrid car program. Please give a look in my blog where her “vitality” and boldness of the Fiat planners it appears in all of evidence: http://dualsymbioticelectromechanicalengine.blogspot.com/
    If the industries can afford unpunished to copy the ideas and defending it need very expensive trial, to which target need the patents? How our young people can find intellectual courage if the economic potentates crush the rights of the single ones? How to defend the rights of private inventors? Whoever is about to ask for a patent or wants to propose a proper patent to a great firm I suggest to give a look to my experience with the Fiat, to get able to operate with best adroitness. Thanks and good time to everybody. Ulisse Di Bartolomei
