		 Fiat is 
		using "TwitBid" to launch the 500 America, a limited edition run of 500 
		cars with U.S. inspired detailing. TwitBid is an online promotion 
		through which it will be possible to win the first example (which will 
		have a badge on the B-pillar bearing the serial number 1/500 as well as 
		the winner's nickname) starting from a bid price of 1 euro. Contestants 
		will have to register on Twitter and then on a dedicated microsite 
		starting from tomorrow. The bidding will close on March 15. At the end 
		of the initiative, whoever has placed the highest offer will win this 
		trimmed-up 500 version which features door mirror covers with stars and 
		stripes, some interior detailing, waistline stickers and 16" alloy 
		wheels.  Visitors to the Fiat stand at the upcoming 82nd Geneva 
		Motor Show will be able to see the bids in real time on a screen next to 
		the 500 America that will be on show. Hagakure is author of the concept 
		and initiative, while Leo Burnett - ARC Worldwide has handled the 
		creativity and production of the site. The 500 America will come with 
		the 69 CV 1.2 8v Euro 5 engine.  |
