I was in Italy and Ethiopia as a car-crazy American teen in the mid-1950's and Fiat Seicentos (it means "600" in Italian) were all over Roma, Napoli, Milano and Addis Ababa, including a 3-row-seating "jitney" (forerunner of today's Uber and Lyft) version officially called the Multipla that could carry 6 in considerable discomfort. The notion that the Seicento was first launched in the 1980s is off by about 30 years. I'll go try to find some old references to it, but since there was no Internet then I'm not confident that I can find any outside of my decrepit necktop computer. EDIT: Found a link! I think the problem is that the Wiki is maintaining one page for the "seicento," which literally means "600" in Italian, and another page for the "600," which is spelled "seicanto." I'm saying that they are the same car, merely advertised differently. You can put "seicento lipstick" on a 600 but it's still a 600. A 600 by any other name is still a 600.... well, you get my drift. Here's the link to the other seicento article on the wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_600 HoggyDog (talk) 04:29, 12 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

Merge?

How can this be a duplicate article? It's a stub: it just needs some TLC to make it into a fully fledged article. —Neuropedia 23:56, 2005 Feb 6 (UTC)

Not in UK or Netherlands markets?

Can someone check out when Seicento ceased sale in UK and Netherlands? So far as I recall the Panda directly superseded it in the UK market. I bought one of the last ones in summer 2003 at a knock down price (by UK standards!).--PeterR 09:06, 24 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Quite likely, as the UK doesn't seem to be so great a market for Fiat (they may have major sales on two or three passenger models and the vans, and everything else has no hope), they seem to phase the old stuff out pretty fast in favour of the newer ones. For an example, they more or less kept selling the old Panda in Italy upto and through the launch of the new one, whereas it hasn't been seen in British showrooms for the best part of ten years (in favour of the 500 & 600) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.46.180.56 (talk) 20:30, 16 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
Can't confirm if/when sales were dropped in the Netherlands, but the model was dropped from FIAT's line-up in the UK in 2004, I've updated the article accordingly with citations Splateagle (talk) 12:16, 5 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
