Fiat stands for Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino, founded in 1899. In 1906, the abbreviation FIAT officially changed to the current name Fiat in lower case. Today it is the largest Italian car manufacturer and now part of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. Fiat is especially successful with small (family) cars, especially in Europe. The 500 is legendary in all its versions.
