What could go wrong!

A car needs a built in coffee maker like a fish needs a bicycle.

I like the 500, like the old ones better. Knew a guy with a racey 500 Abarth, sweet little car

Espresso machine? This is a bad idea. This is a city car, and Italians know that espresso should be savored and enjoyed in a proper cafe with cigarette in hand and some exchanged pleasantries.

I want an Abarth 500 in a bad way. I just need my daily driver to die so I can justify picking one up.

Love the yellow and black one, reminds me of a wasp.

The thing I like about the 500, is that you can do things to this car you can't with others. You can go crazy with the paint colors, wheels, and otherwise sheer lunacy and it get's away with it!

Go crazy, it's OK.

Trouble is the Abarth is NOT available ! Every one of them has to be ordered ! No inventory anywhere.

I think these cars are very quickly going to follow the path of Southwestern style interiors but then I once thought that Apple was toast so there ya go

And lol. All of those cars you mentioned are all old as hell. In case you haven't noticed, no one is selling cars that are monumentally horrendous in build quality these days.

Better yet, why don't you go see for yourself?

Yup, he's way off base. I remember a couple of decades ago how badly built the British cars were and look at em today ....no wait. That isn't a very good example ..................

Italian trash has been italian trash for as long as I remember, we'll see if they finally got it right.

One thing- you can purchase a life time bumper to bumper 100 dollar deductible for them 3G ,I think

[imcarthur]

They have such great commercials. I have driven on some of the roads (Amalfi Coast) in this new one . . .

Every time I see one I expect to see 17 clowns climb out of it.

[McLovin]

Me too.

Then I'm disappointed when it's always only one or two.

well, they could switch production to the UK?

[mikeesik]

Quite a few around here.
Cute like a Bull Terrier Puppy.
Definitely a chicks car.
How many I've seen with those eyelashes attached to the headlights stolen from a parade Float.
WTF is with that?
