Fiat Australia has confirmed it's heading down under.

Fiat Chrysler Australia director of corporate communications Karla Leach confirmed to CarAdvice the new 500X will be sold in Aus, but it may not arrive until 2015 or possibly 2016 – depending on the levels of interest from other global markets.

This is important car for Fiat!

hoping the car arrives late '15 in Aus according to the response I got from a dealer late 2014.
Anyone got some concrete ETA?

Anyone have a clue what the starting price is gonna look like down under?
Cheers

For Australia, the most likely addition to the 500 family is the metropolitan model with petrol engines. Firm pricing is well in the future but prices potentially will start below $30,000.
