FIAT Abarth

[GOduc]

what do you guys think of these? i dunno but they seem pretty kickass IMO. the hp and suspension setup im thinking these would be a hoot to drive.
koni adjustable suspension, turbo to play around with, and pretty stylish on the inside.

only downside is that i cant carry the bike to the track, so maybe buy this for the girl and call it "ours" and keep my truck. i dunno either way, compared to its competition the mini cooper S, i would say the fiat comes out on top

car and driver review

I'm really impressed with them. I've always considered myself a Mini Cooper fan so I guess thats natural. lol I saw one at the Chicago Auto Show but I didn't think much of them. The basic 500s never really interested me because I didn't think they offered much performance. I'm really impressed with the Abarth though, I'd like to see one up close. The amount of power they make is impressive. I imagine these would be a lot of fun to autocross.

Ive seen a couple out here in california probably like driving a go kart

 

[GOduc]

probably like driving a go kart

Yep!![up]

I want one but I drive a 340 hp turbo omni so I am an odd person. Also one of the pickiest and most opinionated auto journalist, jeremy clarkson thinks its one of the best cars made.

turbo omni

GLH??

I remembers those sick little cars, gave my 87 Buick Grand National a good run

we figured GLH stood for goes like hell

you have obviously given it some tlc
crazy ponies [up]

the Abarth looks like a fun keychain car as well

FIAT = "Fix It Again Tonyyyy!!!"

Apparently the Fiat did not sell nearly as well as projected and could potentially be pulled from US markets. Doubt the Abarth will turn things around, so get one while you can. I actually sat in one (abarth) at an auto show last weekend. Pretty neat but Ive never been into the super-compacts myself


btw- I'm new here. Been on that 'other' forum for about a year, so I figured I may as well sign up. So.... Howdy All!!!

They are nice looking cars,but I would rather have the tall foreign woman in the commercial.

 

[vaxb12r]

Buddha, ya I took the motor from a daytona shelby and built it up.

mtnmason, I thought they were doing good. Everywhere you look in va theres a 500.

garyphantom, your are completely right!

Just please dont comment that on my new bike, I will feel insulted, new memebers is one thing but ill feel like im being treated like a call girl or something. No respect. lol

 

[cincybolt12]

I'd rather have a MINI Clubman All4. Fun to drive. 4 doors, AWD, and a hitch for pulling goodies.

It is my next car. I have been watching them for a few years now. Easily modded to 200 hp.. Going to be a big upgrade from my Saturn Ion Probably going to pick one up around end of summer. Waiting lists are pretty long so if you want one, get on the list quick! fiat500usa.com forum is a great resource. One of the guys on the forum(besides me) is also a Buell owner. Guess some of us like the same style of cars too.
