One covets heartily......

A shift up light? (please don't be tedious and assume I don't know what it is )

My local dealer has the 500 Abarth's arriving on Saturday. Looking forward to seeing them in the metal.

I'd have one for my wife

Does anybody have an idea of the pricing of the 500 Abarth Opening Edition in Italy? It seems like the "regular" 500 Abarth is 18,500 eur in Italy and 18,100 eur in Germany but I have not seen the price of the Opening Edition anywhere.

There seems to be no details of opening edition available, I think they are trying to make it exclusive, or available to those who signed up first.

ohhhhh. not sure about that one, gang.

For me, it's close to crossing the line now, and getting dangerously close to the 'Big wheels! Big lights! Flashy roof!' level of shouty-shouty 'look at me! me! that's right, me! look at me, me, me!' that makes the MINI such an emetic prat-wagon.

Wouldn't you rather that Fiat made it Elise-like sharp to drive rather than spend all that money developing different stickers? Like the MINI, it's getting dangerously close to being a marketing and branding success, over being a new dynamic yard-stick. We need substance...not stickers. ;-)

i don't dislike this car, and i hope it is a huge success...but i wish they were making a car that out-dynamics a Clio 197, rather than out-marketeers a MINI.

160BHP/800Kg, who's looking at the stickers?
