Why yes, I would like my Fiat to be based off my favourite navigation app. Who wouldn’t?

Pandas aren’t available with touchscreens, so they just supply a smartphone dock, and pray you don’t use Apple Maps.

Are we going to get the Mitsubishi Outlander Deezer?

The Toyota Yaris Yelp?

The Hummer H3 Vine?

Oh right....

We couldn't have a lost Panda now, could we?

This reminded me of when Chevrolet offered cars set up for Gogolink navigation. Basically, instead of trying to convince someone buying their cheapest cars to spend $1000+ for factory navigation you paid $50 for an app that displayed your phone navigation on the infotainment screen.

It didn’t last long before Apple/android CarPlay made it obsolete.

I'm waiting for the first ad-supported car.

A company encouraging a cheaper solution rather than promoting their more overpriced method?

No wonder they gave up.

You sound like you’re looking forward to it.

I'm looking forward to the media shitshow and public outcry that results.

That’s a nice shade of blue, is that available on non-waze Pandas?

Looks like Line Blue, which is only available on the Panda City Cross, which is what the Waze is based off.

Wait this looks identical to the Waze version, what actuall y changed?
