While the quirky little European runabout touched down on US shores for the 2011 model year, the hatchback has been on sale in the EU since 2007.

North American buyers have responded by dragging home a full 70,000 units since the model debut on our side of the globe. Each of those vehicles were manufactured at the Fiat plant in Toluca, Mexico.
