Car News / 2009 Fiat 500 Cabriolet spied
The camouflage wrapping on at least one Fiat 500 Cabriolet has been conveniently damaged while in transit, giving us our best look yet at the little hatch’s new roof.
These images confirm that the 500 Cabriolet will use a textile roof, featuring a small integrated rear spoiler and high-mount brake light.
This latest addition to the Fiat line-up will use a targa-like roof rather than a completely convertible design, most likely to save costs and weight.
In addition, the roof design also allows Fiat to distance the 500 Cabriolet from competing models such as the Mini or Volkswagen Beetle Convertibles which both use a completely convertible rag-top roof.

not a traditional ‘cabriolet’.
the high mounted brake light will slide down the c-pillars when the roof is full retracted to make it still visible whilst maintaing open air driving – wow that sounded nerdy.
this will look like a normal 500 with side profile views, either way people are gonna love it and buy it up! good little car.
Vaguely remeber the original 500 having a similar type of roof. Could be wrong but means FIAT are wanting to stick to the past concept.
I believe that is the reasoning behind it, sticking to the original as much as possible.
