October 31, 201114 yr New 2012 Fiat 500 Abarth to Debut at the L.A. Auto Show http://www.cheersandgears.com/index.php?app=gallery&module=images§ion=img_ctrl&img=3787&tn=1 Album: Fiat 500 Abarth 6 images 0 comments October 31, 2011 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - Faithful to the ‘small but wicked’ saying coined for Karl Abarth’s cars in the 1960s, the new 2012 Fiat 500 Abarth arrives in America with the racing traditions that have made it a success on European roadways and racetracks — world-class performance and precision, purposeful and aggressive styling, high power-to-weight ratio and limited-production volume. Building on the excitement of the new 2012 Fiat 500 (Cinquecento), the new Fiat 500 Abarth is designed for track-day enthusiasts and driving-purists who want the ultimate high-performance small car with the pedigree of an exclusive Italian exotic. With its all-new 1.4-liter MultiAir® Turbo engine, Abarth-tuned suspension and brake systems, race-inspired design and technology features not traditionally included on a small car, the new 2012 Fiat 500 Abarth will unleash the brand’s legendary performance heritage on American streets.
October 31, 201114 yr This could be a very fun drive. I don't see too many 500s around, though. Getting J Lo to be their pitchwoman hasn't helped - she'll endorse just about anything these days.
November 1, 201114 yr I see a bunch of them here, but the car is really under powered from what I understand. Still, a neat little car...
