Fiat is bringing its new 500e to the US, and we will have a writer who actually owns a 500e testing it out on the roads of Miami soon. We’re excited, because the Fiat 500e has always been a fun, cute, appealing electric car — and the new version offers big improvements.

I track quarterly US auto sales by brand, and Fiat’s sales have been falling for years. They’ve gotten quite minimal. For a market as big as the US, it almost doesn’t seem possible. Of course, Americans are not known for buying small cars, so it’s both not that surprising and seemed ominous for Fiat.
