yes despite the fine-tuning that would be required when creating an abarth model with the 4c engine, same poo poo!

Please continue to blow past my original point that Fiat (once a household name in the roadster segment) has been reduced to using the Miata as a starting point to argue over semantics :allears:

If it keeps that suspension, but with the 4C engine I could really dig it.


Then again I would dig a (twin) Turbo Miata a lot more.

Dude, come off it. It's an interesting "fall from grace" from a company that used to pride itself on making one of the original inspirations for the Miata.

Lol if you think they're going to use the 1.75L motor. FCA wanted to sell 1500 4C's in America and they've sold less than 100. The 2017 Fiat 124 is going to have the 1.4L and is going to be more expensive and weigh more than the ND.

Have fun with your Ford Fusion convertible.

As long as its not made in Serbia like the 500L. Just took the air box off one with 25k on it to do the oil change, and it already was full of oil spewing from the turbo.

The Renegade isn't related to the 500, it shares a platform with the 500X, a completely different car.

My boss was just bitching earlier about how pristine his Chrysler....Aspen? Pacifica? Whatever the Durango one was before he gave it to his wife and now everything's falling apart. I told him that I didn't believe a single word he said because he was praising everything about it.
