I was curious about the Fiat 500 the Pope is riding around in: metric Fiat 500L Prius hatchback 1 City 25 mpg 51 mpg 2 Combined 28 mpg 50 mpg 3 Highway 33 mpg 48 mpg 4 fuel 13.2 gal premium 11.9 gal regular 5 passenger 99 ft{3} 94 ft{3} 6 luggage 22 ft{3} 22 ft{3} Nice package that would be so much better as a hybrid. At least it isn't a diesel. Bob Wilson
funny, someone on npr thought it was a nice eco statement. must have meant economical. if the italians made a hybrid, it would run on chianti.
Compared to a massive, and possibly armored, stretch limo, it's both. If Toyota was Italian, it could have been a Prius.
From one of the members of the EEVC: "This was a brilliant PR move by Fiat Chrysler. Fiat Chrysler has the contract for providing transportation for the Pope in N America, Pope Mobile as well as other trans."
Interesting, but the 500 L competes with what: Compare Side-by-Side Honda HR-V Specs: Cargo Volume (cu. ft., mfr.) 24.3 Maximum Cargo Volume (cu. ft.) 58.8 Passenger Volume (cu. ft., mfr.) 100.1
