		<description><![CDATA[ Filed under: Convertible , Budget , New Car Reviews , Fiat Fashion-Forward Fiat For Fun Northern California is an odd place - and that's just the cars. For every Toyota Prius -driving eco-yuppie, you'll find a diehard Datsun 510 enthusiast. And you can't toss a bushel of puntarelle without hitting a grease-powered Mercedes-Benz in the East Bay.

One week later, there was a Mercedes-Benz E350 Bluetec parked in my driveway and I couldn't stop fielding questions]]></description>
