If there was ever a point when milking a car for all its worth becomes a tad too much, Fiat->ke30 may have just crossed that line with the 500->ke1708 hatchback. Now, it's completely understandable to produce special variations of certain cars; everyone is doing it and will continue to do it in the future.

Unfortunately, we have a car like the Geneva-bound Fiat 500 America, which is a cutesy 500 with some unique details, including a metallic shade America Blue exterior paint finish, a dedicated beltline, mirror covers with the "Stars & Stripes" graphic, a red cap edge, badges on the door pillar, and a new set of 16" alloy wheels.

All these details sound cool, except that we've actually seen something like it in the Fiat 500 Nation Limited Edition, right down to the "Stars & Stripes" graphic. Seems like this Fiat is a renamed model of a pretty similar special edition model. Confused already?

In any case, the Italian automaker will be building 500 three-door versions of this model to go with 500 cabriolet versions.
