New car ordered!!!

Well after almost 9 years on owning my polo gti, I have decided to have a change. The new car will not be available until Jan 2009, but it might be worth waiting for a Fiat 500 Abarth SS 160 bhp. Have really enjoyed driving the gti, have modified it a little and have had no problems apart from a gearbox rebuild. Has anybody else thought about this car. Have tested a 500 Sport 100 bhp and was quite impressed, but it was underpowered.

i looked at that, little 1.4 turbo isnt it? i reckon wth a bit of modding the thing will be a outrageous!, plus they are seriously cool little cars...

Not too keen on the looks of the Fiat, but the spec sounds nice!

Congratulations mate

Has the ouput actually been confirmed, seems a lot of guesses being banded about.

I really like the styling of the 500, they have captured the spirit of the original well IMO.

There are some cracking examples appearing:

The white one looks quite nice. The front bumper looks just plan weird though :?

The wide arch kit on the red one does look rather cool I think.

Nice choice, those 500's are lovely cars, especially an Abarth version, I bet it really honks :twisted:
