As you all know I'm following the updates inside line keeps on posting on their Fiat 500.
Since this is the largest Fiat 500 community I've seen so far, with tons of Fiat 500 owners... I figured this question from the article would be good to ask here...

What do you think? Do you like the odo trip reset at the end of the stalk?

I filled the fuel tank of our long-term 2012 Fiat 500 Sport for the first time over the weekend. We keep track of fuel economy here so I had to reset the trip odo. I struggled with the Menu buttons in the lower right of the above pic for a good 10 minutes, then gave up and did some RTFM.
It turns out the trip reset is on the end of the right stalk (photo on the jump.) Our long-term Chevy Cruze also has the trip reset at the tip of the stalk.
I suppose once you know where it is, the tip of the stalk location is very convenient for the trip reset. And I would imagine it is easier to manufacture in this location compared with putting a peg through a hole in the meters' plastic cover. Additionally, the stalk already controls many functions and adding one other wouldn't be too much of a problem.
