Gordinier Group drivers traveled to the Nation’s Capital to represent the Fiat USA brand at the 2013 Washington Auto Show.
2103 Fiat 500 Abarth
Equipped with the latest offerings from Fiat (500, 500c, 500 Turbo, and the crowd-favorite Abarth), our mission was simple: to show guests a good time, give them an exhilarating ride, and educate them on this great little vehicle.
Most consumers that are new to the Fiat brand comment about how agile, quick and downright fun these iconic Italian vehicles are.
There was no shortage of people lining up for a chance to take a ride in a 500, especially the performance-oriented Abarth. Many were drawn to our booth by it’s throaty exhaust note.
The track was interesting, as it showcased the attributes that make this vehicle a segment leader. With a tight roundabout, parallel parking zone, acceleration zone, pothole simulator and several other compact agility exercises, it was easy for guests to see the advantages of driving this excellent city-friendly vehicle.
With the 500e (electric) and 500l (4-dr) on display upstairs, guests were treated to a glimpse into the bright future of the Fiat USA brand.

January 24-27 2013
Gordinier Group pro drivers traveled to Aspen, Colorado to provide a shuttle service at the 17th Annual Winter X-Games, sponsored by Jeep.
Always a favorite in downtown Aspen, the Jeep shuttle service offers athletes, VIPs, and spectators complimentary rides to and from the X-Games venue during the event days. Not only can they get a lift from 5 different downtown locations, but guests are able to ride in a 2013 Grand Cherokee, Wrangler Unlimited, Compass or Patriot.
During their ride, guests are educated on the Jeep product and are able to play Jeep trivia.Great weather and great action – this event is a keeper!
