I have seen a few in Madison but there isn't a dealership in the area. I think the closest is in Milwaukee which is 60 miles away. They seem mostly driven by women except the red Abarth which raced away from the stoplight while I was driving my 944. That one was driven by a 50's gentleman reclaiming his youth. Boy it did sound nice pulling away from the stoplight.
When we were lined up I was amazed at how tall of a car they are compared to my 944.
I am keeping an eye out for the Dodge Dart multiair turbo which has the same engine as the 500 Abarth although the Dodge does weigh more. I am going to needing a replacement compact commuter car soon but also need to haul the family on occasion, my bride and 3 kids, so the 500 Abarth is out of the question. I have read one can modify the Multiair turbo to 200 HP fairly easily and if you open the exhaust up the engine sounds sweet as heck.
