Well, I looked at several 500's at MOTD and was surprised. I have NO plans to go out and buy one, but I did not find it unappealing. It was cute (in person) and the interior was not a turn off. It is NOT a MINI, it is what it is and I did not find that all bad. Just saying.....

^^^ Hey Jim....
Check out the comments made on Best Motor Werks site.....

....Proactive Maintenance

BMW's oil change intervals can reach 15-20K - in our professional opinion this can be detrimental to long term engine health. We recommend a 7-10k mile oil change interval depending on driving style
the factory's "lifetime transmission fluid" is often a self fulfilling prophesy, automatic transmission fluid and filter changes recommended between 60-80k......

 

Only one of my changes actually went to 15K. Normally they fell around 10 and 12. Now I am doing them at 10K, so all is good. I am about to turn 61K, so transmission is next. Breaks are due in 2600, so may do the tranny then.

Is your justa an automagic Jim?

 

It feels like it, with the speed and smoothness of my shifting. :biggrin5:

BTW: It does have oil ya know.

Fiat has sold out all 2012 Abarth's. They initially slated 1000 Abarth's for US sales but when all 1000 were sold before they were even built Fiat went ahead and slated another 2000 for US consumption. These are now all sold too. Orders now will be delivered as 2013 models.

Looks like the Abarth is a hit, even if it is in smaller numbers. Wonder how long they can keep up these sales numbers.

 

That is pretty cool. I actually like those little tin mice.

 

I have seen a few down around Savannah. Kind of a neat little thing for a city car--but they look way small.

 

You can put ear rings on a pig, but it doesn't make the pig happy or any prettier.
Have to say I like the seats though.

 

So what? If we dip a MINI in Aston Martin, it is worth $80K now? WTF? ut:

 

Fiat looks to be copying MINIs Playbook.
