Fiat 500 Abarth:

That wouldn't sell like mad over here.

How'd I do?

Then you find out the Abarth SS version has 160hp and does 0-60 in ~6.6 seconds. It will literally eat everything in its size class.

Anticipated US MSRP - $13-14K.

Oh, yeah, forgot to mention that there’s a 200hp version coming that may be tunable to 250.... in a car that weighs 2300lbs.

F’ing rocket ship, anyone?

I am amazed they have the balls to to set foot in America after the crap Fiat was selling here 15-20 years ago. The Abarth is free with a tank of premium at a Chevron Station near you...

Appears to have a high center of gravity for very poor handling - even dangerous in sharp turns. Small and probably very unsfe in crashes, too. Thanks, but no thanks!

The car or the planet? LOL

I did see this earlier and thought that the Saturn was a great car according to consumers so he may have a good plan there.
