New Fiat....
...the new Fiat 500L just introduced in Europe comes with a Lavazza espresso maker built in as standard equipment. Just read this while waiting for my dentist.
Can you say "brillant"?

Great, one more device in a car not related to driving it. More distractions. Just wait for the first lawsuit for hot coffee in the lap.

^ I don't see what those cars from 30-40 years ago having any relevance to anything they make today.
That's like making blanket statements about Korean cars based on what they made 20 years ago. lol

This isn't exactly a brand new car. They've been selling these things in Europe since 2009 (maybe longer, I'm not sure anymore).
And lol. All of those cars you mentioned are all old as hell. In case you haven't noticed, no one is selling cars that are monumentally horrendous in build quality these days. Better yet, why don't you go see for yourself? |

Bragging rights, a catch or a hook in marketing terms.
Good for them, but they might not need something like that had the car been a better value.

no one needs these kind of distractions. if you need this to keep awake on the road please pull over and take a walk maybe make it so it works only when the engine if off, and parked. these kind of gadgets belong in the back of camper vans, or in the trunk for tailgaiting parties.

Ted,
this is the Italians, they drive crazy! I love that they did this, it is so typical of a culture that just seems to know how to have a little bit of fun. They may have their faults but hell, a fiat with a latte machine, that is just nuts.
