After the massive success in Turin, Berlin and London , the major city’s turn to host an original celebrations for the introduction is Tokyo. Japan has always been very attentive to the Made in Italy products. The launch will be march 15th the day of the “Sakura” the cherry tree’s blossom when almost all Japanese people celebrate this occasion by doing picnics beneath the cherry trees for around two weeks. The ultimate gossip/curiosity is that the new 500 will also be cast as the new car of the famous cartoon character which will turn 40 this year Lupin the IIIrd in the new animated feature called “Lupin the IIIrd, Green vs. Red”. In some of the older episodes one could see Lupin IIIrd driving the old 500.
