I've been eyeballin them for awhile. Mine would have to have the pullback ragtop. I'm really trying to stop myseld from comparing it to the PT Cruiser or beetle. There's a lot of Mini Cooper in it too I think.

If you're going to buy one, at least wait until the Abarth version is available.

It's as perfect a resurrection of the old spirit as the new Challenger is to the old one. In other words, it literally looks like the old one, only slightly bigger, straighter, and loaded with more tech goodies.

Dimensionally speaking, it resembles your Mini, but looks like the Vocho on steroids.

And the interior is sexxxxxxxxxxy

Been on the market here for quite a while. Never driven one but they look okay for a woman. My gf wants either a white one or a vw beetle.

Agreed! We've had them driving around the D.C. area for a couple months now and they're growing on me.

When I got the car there was no Waxoyl. I bought a 1977 VW beetle( the last of them) and Zeibarted it and painted the underside. 7 years later terminal rust. ALL of the beetles rusted. designed to do it. as all cars here in 1977. The Japanese changed that. Every body had to catch up. gary

I've seen a couple driving around. They reminded me of my Ford Festiva only not as boxy. The cost is fairly reasonable though I would like the scrunch top.

I love the idea of bringing some new auto makers into the US but seriously this is just going to clog the interstates with more worthlessly underpowered crap that forces me to pass in that relatively narrow strip of roadway just to the right of the right lane.... RICKY RUD!!!

I am not interested at all. I think the Mini has this car covered if your into cars like this.. The one new car that I would love to have is the BMW series 1 M. I like everything about
it. The greatest problem is that I don't have the near fifty thousand dollars to buy it. As a matter of fact I don't have the twenty grand for the Fiat.
