I'm a huge fan of the Fiat 500 both the old and the current new one :)

However I'd never consider spending 80k on one...

Must say, the interior especially those seats looks fantastic - pity though that being associated with Ferrari they (Fiat) can really milk these things...

Ouch i imagine the Fiat 500 sales will go up alot. Stupid government C02 laws making the car companies do that. Really should be AWD and do low 5seconds to 100km/h for that kind of money...... Not much car for the money when a 2011 premium model WRX only costs $47,000ish and will do 5.2 to 100km/h and a 13.6sec 1/4mile. At least my car can now beat a 2011 model Ferrari ;)

Yep, that's the one...car companies will do and take advantage of any marketing tool or tactic to make or ask for more money :(

What's going to make this thing really hard to sell IMHO is the fact that they've also just released a 'normal' high performance variant of the 500 Abarth (the Esseesse - stupid name) and that car is not too far behind in performance to this one and costs around the mid 30k's...

in all honesty for that money id be expecting something alot quicker than that. a factory 2002 sri turbo astra is quicker than that and costs 10k. if it did the 0-100 sprint in sub 6 seconds id say maybe
