Corners like a snake down a rat hole, brakes that will suck your brains out through your forehead, amazing acceleration (in 'sport' mode), and loves to hum along at 90+ mph...solid as a rock while doing so. And 36 mpg at road speeds.

That is true. I am not living in present time with the Fiats. I don't know them past a sighting on the road. I am not all that crazy about the 500 but I do like some of the throw back colors A-la Vespa.

I do like the styling of the new 124, much nicer in my opinion than the miata. I did have a 124 back in the day. Under powered, rattler, leaky, rusty, AC sucked. Loved it. It was fun.
