Fiat copies BMW, charges premium price for new 500
Europeans expect subcompact cars to be cheap and affordable.

The big question is:
How is the performance?
How does it handle?
Is is comparable to the Mini in driving enjoyment?
If the answer to all of the above is positive they may have a winner on their hands.

I like the Mini and 500. I can't wait to see this car in person. Of course not stateside, but maybe at a car show.

Looks like Nissan micra aka Nissan March in some Asian countries.
14K+ is too much.

You have to look at the price of comparable cars in Europe. Telling us that it costs (the equivalent of) $14000(US$) means absolutely nothing.
