Poor one out for the little guy. I guess they’ll still exist in Europe as all-electric cars, but we won’t be seeing any new ones here...

On the other hand... there’s the Kia Soul. A small car that’s popular in the US but much less so in most other markets.

Funny thing is that under every Jeep Renegade is the same architecture as that of a  Fiat 500.

Yup, I was psyched when I saw they were going to be selling them here...guess I always knew this would probably happen, sadly...

Eh, not quite...the 500 is built on FCA’s Mini platform...the Jeep Renegade is built on the Small Wide platform, so the Renegade is actually the smale platform as the Grand Punto, not the smaller 500.

FIAT’s Panda is built on the same Mini platform as the 500 though. I wouldn’t mind seeing them bring the Panda here as a more conventional small car replacement for the 500, but I doubt that would happen.

I am too, if I’m honest, but it is still really sad to hear the news...
