the Fiat Topolino EV
It seems that Fiat is coming out with an electric version of the Topolino (little mouse) car? I think it resembles the Citroen Ami (Wikipedia). Perhaps a rebadged version? There doesn't seem to be a lot of difference between the two.
I was hoping for something more than a rebadged Ami. I was hoping it would be more like the updated Fiat 500; which - IMO - has some retro styling in it. I think this 'new' Topolino EV lacks - IMO - any retro styling of the original.
Another example is like when BMW came out with a newer Mini Cooper. It was bigger than the original since it needed to have emission controls and safety features added but still retained - IMO - the styling of the original Mini Cooper.
the Citroen Ami EV
Motor1 - It seems the Ami is cheaper than the Topolino? (per the article).
Auto Blog - It is full of retro styling cues? (per the article). I didn't realize that something that resembles a Citroen Ami was a retro style? I think the older Topolino was totally different in style (IMO).
Fiat Topolino (little mouse) - Wikipedia. I just don't see the 'retro styling' of the EV version as compared to the 500 Topolino below.

If they are gong to do a rebadged version of another car instead of something on their own, perhaps it would be better - IMO - if they did a rebadged version of the Mia 2.0? They could make it for them since they are looking for a manufacturer and it would be a lot better - IMO - than a rebadge Ami.
