As tempted as we were to continue the theme set forth by this story’s headline and stuff the opening sentences full of the word “panda” over and over again, we didn’t want to leave your eyes panting over so much panda pandemonium. So what’s the panda-everything deal with this Fiat Panda? Just look at it! Resembling a car-shaped panda, the white Fiat wears black spots around its headlights, panda face covers on four of its headrests, and, lest anyone forget, its freaking name is “Panda.”
The black-and-white Fiat Panda is part of a three-way panda orgy involving a partnership with the newest Kung Fu Panda animated movie and Conservation International, an environmental group. Fiat will auction the Panda Kung Fu Panda for charity, donating the proceeds to Conservation International so that it may “preserve the habitat of the other Panda.” Unlike Fiat Pandas, of which many are born annually, keeping the population high, real pandas require saving—or so we’re told.
We must admit that a panda-themed Panda is pandering a bit hard, but Fiat apparently missed the opportunity to take things further; for example, there are no shoots of bamboo near its show stand in Geneva, where the car debuted, and nor were there any Pandanuses or Pandani on hand (Google it—we promise it’s SFW). Even so, everyone can get behind saving the pandas, even if we need to get specific about which pandas need saving. Oh, and one more time: PANDA!
