Well I am finally a Fiat abarth 2012 owner (well the bank owns 75% of her)

Practically new with 2800miles.  Black colour and no extra options.

This car brings nothing but a grin on my face.  It's just a little beast growling with every shift change.  It's just a wonderful little beast.  I have been eyeing it since its introduction in US but I also love the Fiat family having grown up with my parents owning a fiat 600 and 127 back in late 70's and early 80's when I was a kid.

And i generally hate driving and am not a car nut at all.  This being the first almost new and decent car i have ever gotten, its just awesome!  I realize she is over-priced really but i had to finally go for it.  Glad I didn't compromise and get the T or standard.

crazy why they would put the stickers on the hood

Tinting the windows would look great

Looks like fun [thumbsup]

I had a 600 in 1970 - I think it coasted faster than the engine would take it....

Yours', not so much ;D
Desmosedici - it's the new Paso (except the bodywork doesn't fit as well)

If I had an ounce of mechanical talent, I would love to have 70's 600 (sei chento) and restore it.  Yellow colour.

But I am glad for this Abarth.  I am babying her and not using her in snow etc.  :-)

I believe I recognize the car from pictures on one of the Fiat 500 forums I'm a member of.
I can't find the pics, but if I do, I will let you know so that you can look up any posts they made about their car.
