Fiat 500

[bornwild]

I'm seriously considering buying this car when it comes out(if it comes to AU). It weighs 860kg and has the same 1.3jtd from the punto, 66kW and 200Nm with a 6sp auto(paddleshifts).

It's a good looking little car, hope the quality matches the looks and everything else.

One word....

Abarth. :D

I've seen pics of it and it's pretty funky, good 2nd car to hoon around in! But it'll be pricey though being Fiat, I reckon around $16-$18K.

$16k to $18k is a good deal on this car. :)

I'd be happy to pay up to $20k for the 500. Especially if they bring out a wild 'Hot' version of it....like Vectracious said :D

I like that one word.

My hunting has told me to expect a twin turbo 1.4 powerplant in an Abarth. Not sure if this is teh same mechanicals as teh Abarth Punto.

Fiats have a dear place in my heart (currently own 3.. 1 124 spider, and 2 124 coupes.. the spider with quite a few Abarth intentions!).. I was considering teh Abarth 500 when and if we get it, and am anticipating closer to 40K pricetag... well worth buying one, and putting it away....after a few years of fun...

I'm with you Entice....:)

I absolutely loved the original Fiat 500 (and all the rest of those old Fiats too)

I've been fortunate enough to drive all those earlier model Fiats when I was back in the homeland.

This new revamp looks great - twin turbo variant will be very interesting.......

i read something somewhere confirming it coming to australia in early 08.

but i think its hideous *shrug* each to their own.

It would be great in the 1.3 oiler to run back and forward to work.

True, I can relate to that, if it's a car you'd never had anything to do with...

It's more a sentimental thing I think with most of us that like it :)

I think it looks bloody sexy and finally we have a reborn classic that is not a chicks car!! :D

You'd pick up a few chicks in the new 500 Abarth...they'd go "awww look how cute it isss" and then you reap the benefits :D :D :D :D
