Official: Fiat reveals oddball FCC4 in Sao Paulo 1414614600
The striking new concept vehicle seen above is called the FCC4, which stands for Fiat Concept Car... with, um, four doors.

It's sort of like a four-door ...

Report: Fiat already planning 500X Abarth performance crossover 1413374460
Fiat may treat Abarth as a trim level on the 500 in the United States, but overseas it's a bona fide performance brand.

But that could be about to ...

Video: Fiat 500X takes the blue pill 1412640060
