The new Italian-made Fiat 500L comes with the LavAzzar espresso maker that plugs into a port between the driver and passenger seats.

TECCA.COM reports:
Car owners have become accustomed to things like multi-speaker stereos and heated seats. But a built-in coffee maker? Now that's a perk.

think this may become a fatal mistake. i mean mcdonalds had to put a warning on their coffee because people where spilling them on their crotches and whatever else and damn near crashing and all that. a built in espresso maker is simply enabling not to mention how do they deal with water, filters, and coffee grinds? thats bound to make a little of a mess on the upholstery in what i would assume is a high end car (i mean it comes with a stupid coffee maker)

I might want to add one IF I was into espressos a lot, but this wouldn't be a selling point. There are other home conveniences that I'd like first. Maybe a party van or something, but if I'm living out of my car that much, I'd rather get fat discounts at some nice hotels instead.

I don't like coffee. My understanding is that the coffee maker won't be included in the US models. That's a good thing.

Why not! Heck, during the morning rush-hour commute I often think to myself "Self, you need a tall Expresso" while I'm enjoying my breakfast, browsing the Internet on my 4G enabled iPad and cussing out other drivers for getting in my way.

I can't believe they (Fiat) are selling in the states again. Total trash in the 70's.
I had a 1974 X1/9. May have been my favorite car. Two seat, mid engine, removable hardtop but a True POS. It was always broken and in need of repair.
Now the flip-side was that it was FUN to drive. Only like 64 hp but would do exit/on ramps at 80+mph. Stuck to dry pavement like glue.

Fix
