The Fiat 500L MPW (500L Living outside the UK) has been revealed as a seven-seat, stretched 500L with two extra occasional seats. You may think MINI has stretched the ‘brand’ way beyond common sense, but Fiat are running a close second with endless variations on the 500 theme. This is the latest – the Fiat [...]
