I wonder if the Abarth will be available here?

Base 500 will be here first, convertible, electric and Abarth introduction will be spaced out over the next 24 months if I’m not mistaken.

You’re silly.

This thing looks 100x better than the Mini. I read an article on it while in the waiting room at Lia last week getting my pre-extended warranty inspection done. Sweet little car. Would definitely rock one.

goldsstein was supposed to get it, but they wanted to sell them out of there showroom with everything else, and build the building for them after they were already lunched.

fiat will only give it to the dealer who builds them there own BUILDING for separate show room/service area. plus they have to have dedicated sales staff. if the dealer isn’t willing to play ball then they just move on, which is how armory got it.

fiat is also doing a no-haggle price structure. just like saturn did, where the price on the sticker is the price you pay

The Abarth + that interior = cool little car. Hmm…maybe this will be my next ride after the M if gas gets to be too expensive.

I’d rock the Abarth or Mini Cooper S as a “fun” car or weekend duty.

I would probably look like a monkey trying to fuck a foot ball on ice driving one.
