Perfume Diffuser: The Fiat 500’s Overpriced Glade Plugin
Fiat prides itself on the vast amount of accessories that they make available in their cars, but a closer examination of the automaker’s catalog shows that roughly half of the available accessories are worthless pieces of shit.
Take for example the Fiat 500 Perfume Diffuser pictured above, which plugs into your cigarette lighter and is timed to send out spurts of one of three fragrances including Citrus, Essence of Night and Breath of Fresh Air—sounds appetizing. Thankfully, it’s available for a reasonable price. According to my pound to dollar conversion, the Fiat 500 Perfume Diffuser is all yours for only $107.72.
I have an extremely hard time believing that anyone out there would ever waste a cup holder spot on this overpriced Glade Plugin, but maybe I’m wrong. Unfortunately I haven’t yet had the pleasure of basking in a cloud of “Essence of Night,” so I have no idea what it smells like, but until I see these fragrances bottled up and sold for personal use, I’m just going to assume that all three smell like straight dog shit. If it were sold in stores, it’s likely that it would be placed alongside the line of Axe deodorant spray.
If you really want to show off your love for Fiat, you can invest in the always classy “Oops I Fiated Again” embroidered polo shirt. At just over $25, it’s more modestly priced than the Perfume Diffuser, but there’s no arguing that it’s equally as douchey (bonus douche points for those who use both products simultaneously). Nothing say’s “I have no friends” quite like an “Oops I Fiated Again” polo doused in four battery-powered spurts of “Breath of Fresh Air.”
I understand that Fiats are the most accessorized cars on the market, but with accessories like the Perfume Diffuser in their catalog, it’s not exactly a claim that Fiat should be proud of.
Would you ever waste your money on a Fiat 500 Perfume Diffuser? Join the debate below.
Many of us thought that the Dodge Challenger Hellcat was about as intimidating as a car could get. After all, people couldn’t hardly get them off the lot without crashing them when they first came out. Then Dodge upped the ante with the new Demon. But aside from the raw power, there are some other interesting aspects of the new Demon.
Check out the video below for a full rundown of just how unique this car is.
Think you finally have your Mercedes names mastered? Well, a new challenge appears to be coming, friend.
How to now identify Mercedes models by name
Some moves in the northwoods of Canada by the brand appear to signal a change in the naming conventions that will be used for Mercedes and AMG models. Candian trademarks have been filed for A 40, CLA 40, SLC 40, SLC 50 and GLE 50 in addition to CLA 53, G73 and S73.
If this proves true in the states, it would signal an end to the rule of two digits for Mercedes, three-digits for AMG counterparts. The new world would be two digits, ending in a “0” for Mercedes, and two digits ending in a “3” for AMG. This supports rumors of an AMG ‘73’ model with a hybrid powertrain.
While this change isn’t terribly difficult to comprehend, it certainly makes things interesting when comparing legacy and upcoming Mercedes models. There are a lot of numbers to keep straight, and a lot of explaining to do. And the letter and number combos leave something to be desired in terms of cachet.
It makes one appreciate the simplicity of giving each vehicle an actual name, like the domestic manufacturers do. Sure, that’s how we ended up with the Chevy Nova, but what are you going to do? There are only so many names, surely one for an automobile would end up meaning “no go” in some language, right?…
I like my car. It’s a 2011 Toyota toaster, I mean Camry. If you made a list of everything a car has to do, the Camry would check all the boxes. It gets me from point A to point B with the consistency a learning golfer would envy. It’s a toaster. You put in the bread, choose your level of toastiness, push down the thingy and then wait for it to pop up. But there is one interesting thing about my car. The shifter. That’s it up there. That is definitely not conventional at all. So, what’s with Toyota’s weird shifter pattern? (more…)
