That is so cheep for a fun car, I can not wait for it to come out in HK.
I will get 1 amd mod the hell out of it.

Fiat will be on sale in January.
The 500 will cost between ?7,900 and ?10,900 (that roughly translates to $15,500-21,900).

69 bhp 1.2-liter
100 bhp 1.4-liter

You forgot to mention the Abart SS, 180 HP (turbo, so remappable) on 900 Kg
Faster than my tuned CooperS

And it's nice, seen in the streets .

Edit : I test drove the 1.4 petrol 100 HP and it is good . The interior too .

Yes : I am convincing my sister to get one . But not the AbartSS, otherwise she would be faster than my Mini

The 1.3 MJTD has an astonishing consumption : more than 20 km with a liter on the highway (50+ MPG US) .

I like it white with the Italian flag-stripe that crosses all the car, like on the 360 Modena Challenge Stradale .
And with sunroof

Something like this, with the black sunroof and the stripe in the center, that the configurator doesn't allow me to put selecting the sunroof .

The 1.3 MJTD on the 500 has 75 HP now, but on other cars there is already next 90 HP step .

The 500 is going to fly out of the showrooms - it's perfect for its intended purpose and it looks phenomenal. The 500 Abarth is apparently under consideration for the US market too.

I was just reading a news story in a dutch newspaper where they were saying that this little car was going to be a success in Holland and that there were reports of dealers in Holland were importing these from Italy and France and selling these with a big mark up due to high demand.

I like the way it looks
