I agree, It'll be a NICE city car.

I just can't help using puns for these brands!

...and lease cost is 800 (Eight hundred) GBP per month according to the lady at the NICE Car Company stand at the ExCeL London Motor Show 24 July 2008.

They did have a nice Jive blue Lounge model on display, as Fiat were not present at the show
