It is quite a nice little car there. I like the interior but I am not sure I like the gear shift stick kind of floating out in the middle of nowhre (Like on the last generation Civic Si)

I disagree. Now that the secret is out, Fiat has plenty of time to brief its dealers and prep the car for a swift roll-out after its motorshow debut in September. I would expect the cars to be in the showroom very shortly after Fiat's fine models have pulled the tarp off this car in Frankfurt.
If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

I tend to agree but now I see a small problem. I might be wrong so correct me at any time.
According to you, Fiat made a smart step by presenting the car a week after Geneva. Seems smart to me too. But if they want to to a swift roll-out after Frankfurt that doesn't seem very smart to me.
My point is: it's now March, so September is like 6 months away. They will present the final model in Frankfurt, where dozens of other cars will be presented... It just doesn't seem logical to me. Why wait for such a long time and then present the final car in a buzzy week and take the risk to get drowned in the massive news river. I don't think that would help their swift roll-out a lot...
But then again, I could be so wrong here...

Which reminds me, how much do you reckon it's going to cost? A tad bit more than the Panda?

The UK is not getting the cheap versions, which is typical.
I can understand that, with the success of the MINI, their largest customer base will be fairly successful, fashion concious estate agents, so they will sell more of the top-of-the-range cars.
To not offer the cheaper versions is a bit underhand.
I suppose the smaller the number of people able to afford one, the less are sold and the stronger the image, desirability and the residuals.
Europe is traditionally much more utilitarian in its approach to cars - people are more content with having a lower-spec car, and aren't drawn, magpie like, to big shiny wheels.
