Personally I'm not a fan as I think it cheapens both the Abarth and Ferrari brands but they're selling and I don't see many other manufacturers selling supermini's for 35k so it must have something going for it.

Cars flipping after hitting kerbs is quite commong anyway.....

all cars are flippable, but some are more flippable than others :)

Yet to see one on the road here in the US. Other than decent MPG, they don't seem to have many selling points for the US market.

I do wonder what Americans will think of it. They've made a few changes to the US 500 to make it a bit more US friendly. It's difficult to say for sure how well it'll do though. I think they sold out the first run of production, but that would have been mostly to hardcore Italian car fans. Will be interesting to see how well it does. Not having been to the US I don't know how much of a market there is for small cars like that anyway.

Not all American cars have big engines ;) You do get things like Honda Jazz's there (Fit's) but how well they sell I don't know. Oh and yes here is an auto option :)

There's no replacement for displacement :laugh:

Now all of you come clean!!!
