Fiat 500
2007 - present, Curb weight 1910 - 2200 pounds.

 

There other aspects to it. Gearing, suspension, weight distribution.

 

The Abarth will be the one to watch to see if it's all "lipstick" or if it has the "cajones".

 

I owned on of the original ones and had I not fallen in love with the MINI first, I would consider this car for the same reasons, retro, gas efficient and kinda cool. There were a lot of naysayers when the Countryman went into production, but look at them now.

Given enough time, about 3 years on the last Fiat's sold here, they will be down to their 800 pound fighting weight thanks to the tin worm. :smile5: Hope they do a better job this time around.

 

Man, are you ever negative.
