Configurator Designs A Fiat That Can't Be Made
Auto Express
|May 3, 2017
CASE STUDY 500X options couldn’t be chosen together, but the online image suggested otherwise.
ONLINE configurators, which let you design and visualise your dream car from the comfort of your computer, are becoming increasingly popular with new car buyers.
There’s no sales rep breathing down your neck and there’s less chance of being baffled by jargon or small print, leaving you time to pick the right spec at the right price.
It should leave little room for confusion, but that’s not what reader Darren Sedgwick of Castleford, West Yorks, found. He used Fiat’s configurator to order his 500X Cross Plus, and was confused to discover the car supplied by Arnold Clark Motorstore, Leeds, didn’t match the one he designed.

Alpin A390
IF you're looking at the car in these pictures and struggling to get a sense of what an Alpine A390 is, you're not the only one. The A390 GTS is very much an 'Alpine' in terms of its design, but this is an all-electric 4.6-metre-long crossover packing a high-performance powertrain underneath a body that's somewhere between an SUV, a coupé, and a four-door fastback.
