Same with StupidCar.
Spoken like a man.
It is totally unprofessional. But not too shocking from Italians.
My biggest surprise is Argentinians being put off by it.
Seems appropriate, since that's what I am.
It is totally unprofessional.
According to whom? I agree, it's sophomoric. But I don't think it's worth getting upset about. It's certainly no worse than half the cheesy innuendos one encounters on TV sitcoms.
I learned while in the Army Italians hated helicopters.
One reason was the noise the main rotor made: Wop wop wop wop wop wop.
But then, if you get close to the tail rotor, it’s going Guinea guinea guinea guinea guinea guinea.
Back seater.
Yep, I would have trouble driving with that in the passenger seat next to me.
Mom and dad bought one that looked okay on the (Iowa dealer's) showroom floor, but within six months it was beginning to corrode alarmingly. Adding insult to injury, the FIAT badge on the front was one of the first things to lose its plating and begin the transition to oxides.
(The mechanics at the dealership hated - absolutely HATED - to work on the thing.)

Hmmm.... No women drivers? Sounds like a decent plan. And I guess Islam gets ONE thing right...
:)
Same thing. They all need to get better morals, for starters, never mind stop condescending to women (partly by assuming everyone is a male, which really gets old, including on this forum).
Autocar UK tested it at 49.6 urban mpg (40m/USg)
Italians would consider the Fiat a chick car. Probably a manual only for the gaucho area
2017 Fiat 124 Spider
It’s a Miata with different front end styling and different interior. Probably a good thing from a reliability standpoint.
Better Japanese engineering with Italian styling, rather than the other way around...
DANG!
Nah, for a better starter, morals are no help.
But play it safe, stick with the major makes-- Delco, Bosch, Nippon Denso, etc.
Just don't lose any of the shims (and have a few extra handy, or a make-do) when changing out starters on GM small-block V-8's. They are notorious for less then precise engine block castings when it comes to proper starter motor in relation to flex plate ring gear spacing.
The Fiat is more true to the Miata as originally conceived than the Mazda is, oddly enough. Mazda’s getting a little too slick with the styling.
I really like the looks of new Spider. I could see myself buying one in the not too distant future.
Who’s building it, Mazda or Fiat? If it’s Fiat, I’d wait a year and check the recalls and reliability reports. They’ve made tremendous strides but still haven’t reached the appliance-like level of reliability that Americans expect.
