When did the Fiat 500 get a facelift?
This 500 first appeared back in 2007, and aside from a minor facelift in 2015, it’s still soldiering on unchanged. Of course Fiat will point out that the facelift heralded the arrival of 1,800 changes, but since the most significant was the fitment of LED daytime running lights as standard, it’s safe to say Fiat didn’t push the boat out.
