Well that's relatively nice looking form the side... Interesting.

Seems like a photoshop/drawing. Here's the real thing from last July.

I think that looks great. I'm a little confused though with the Fiat 500 name. It is a lot bigger looking than the Fiat 500 too. What does the x mean that it is a crossover or that it has AWD?
I remember reading that the Fiat 500 would have a huge variations of it, is this maybe one of them? I personally would change the name though, but thats me.

I'll point out that the article said it would be produced along side the B Jeep (called B-SUV there) . So I would expect one or the other to have 4WD. My curiosity is the engine.

Attractive from the profile

Kind of reminds me of the Dodge Hornet concept.

More like a drawing than a photoshop, but IMO it looks better than the 500X model that was previewed during the 500L presentation.
This particular comp comes from the autoitalian blog, I posted the picture with the original source last week on the B-Jeep forum

Here's some more info for you: http://www.allpar.com/cars/adopted/fiat/500X.html

Also, know that it has been announced that many future Fiats will be branded "500" but fit various niches, sort of like Mini's scheme.

Not so. Read this post: http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2013/02/new-fiat-500x-and-smart-fortwo-appear.html

True. The drawing is speculative. What was shown back in July was the real deal. Drawing looks nothing like the real thing. It wasn't leaked, it was semi-officially shown last summer. See the Autoweek link posted above in my earlier post.

It's a fake, but it is not a Forvision as reported in the Carscoop article: it is a photoshopped Mazda:

Well....if that's really 'it'......it pretty much blends in with everything else out....IMO...of course.
Pretty much the way it is in the styling world these days.

It's been referred to as the "Jeepster" before..it's AWD.

The B-segment Fiat crossover is called 500X, so far. It is not based on the A-segment 500 but will be styled like it, much like the 500L MPV (with which the 500X will share its platform). The 500X will also share its platform with a new B-segment Jeep, which has been referred to as "Jeepster," although its name has not been released. Both the 500X and the B-Jeep will have AWD.

Not as bad as I expected.

It's a photoshopped Mazda!!! (see the original picture, showing the Mazda here below!) The 500X in the OP does not exist!!
