I wonder - will there be an estate version of the Fiat 500? If so, anyone care to bet on how many doors that will have!

I gather that there are indeed plans for a Fiat 500 estate!

As regards the clubdoor thing, I too think it is ridiculous that BMW do not put the clubdoor on the correct side for the left hand drive markets. However, I quite like the idea of only one clubdoor, as on one side of the car there is a club door, and on the other side there is a different unique feature - an unusually long side window!
