<br />
There was undoubtedly some freaking out at the annual <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/fiat">Fiat</a> Freakout held at Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC this year. The Freakout is more respectably referred to as the annual gathering of Club Fiat-Lancia Unlimited, where owners and fans show their vintage love. This year, Fiat North America CEO Laura Soave personally rewarded the assembly with news that they would get first dibs on the first five hundred <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/fiat+500/">Fiat 500</a>s to come to America, called the "Prima Edizione."<br />
<br />
The special allotment will come in White, Red and Gray, get manual transmissions and special badging, and buyers will be able to choose their build number. Assuming the club members don't sponge up every one of Prima Edizione models, Fiat says it will give others a chance to get hold of one at "a later date" at <a href="http://www.ciaofiat.com">www.cia ofiat.com</a>. More details in the press release after the jump. <br />
