4 July 2007.Yes. It's US of A indy day(congrats), but thats not all. We will also have a newborn "baby" or I should say, a reborn Italian "baby". A stunning chip chip cute new FIAT 500.

"This summer, on that particular day (I hope), exactly 50 years later, and once again in Turin, the company will be presenting its new Fiat 500, which will go on sale immediately after the launch. -source"

"Fiat previewed the all new 500 in March 2007 exactly 50 years after the first Fiat 500 was presented.

The design of the new 2007 Fiat 500 is based on the 2004 Fiat Trepiuno concept. This car will feature a distinctive retro-look just like the Volkswagen New Beetle and BMW MINI but may well be substantially cheaper than those cars, with a projected starting price possibly as low as £6000.

The new car is based on the Fiat Panda platform. It will initially come with three engine options: a 1.2 4-cylinder petrol, a 1.4 Starjet 4-cylinder petrol and a 1.3 Multijet 4-cylinder diesel. These engines produce 69 bhp, 99 bhp and 75 bhp, respectively.

Fiat will share the underpinnings of the new 500 with Ford for the next Ford Ka. Production is currently scheduled for mid 2007 and commercial debut in September of 2007." - wiki
