Handling over Power ftw. I really like these kinda cars like Lotuses. Shows how you don't need Big engines to go fast, and they look cute.
Woah, ?12k? If this is gonna be made, this could sell like hotcakes!

but it's a fiat, how on earth is are they planning to make it look sporty? They just don't know how to do sporty.

Fiat have a history of making stunning coupes/roadsters.
Their last one, the Barchetta, had a 1.8L and retailed for 17K Eur I believe.
Until this day I don't know why the smart roadster failed. It was a beautiful car that handled like a classic. I suppose it all comes down to the bottom line.

Are you high? Fiat INVENTED the small sporty car. You've obviously never driven a Fiat 127, 128, 125, 131 Racing, 124, 124 Coupe, 124 Spyder, Uno Turbo, Ritmo Abarth etc etc etc.

Nice concept, but I wouldn't expect too much until I hear more details from FIAT. That said, it'd be nice to see a new Barchetta!

man u should really think before u post such a stupid comment. this wont be fiat, it will be abarth, something like lexus and toyota. basically totally different car and 50yrs ago when fiat 500/600 abarth came they were the best on all competitions. so yes, fiat(abarth) DOES make sporty cars.
btw, alfa doesnt do sporty cars too since ferrari does it for them too?

when i mentioned lexus/toyota i didnt mean they make sporty cars, just the relation between companies

darko2301 u should not post stupid comments. Abarth is nothing like Lexus is for Toyota (or Volvo is for ford or Jeep is for Chrysler). They are different car brands. Abarth is a tuning brand for fiat. Like AMG for Mercedes, like Irmscher for Opel, TRD for Toyota etc. And his point on the Fiat/Ferrari issue is that Fiat owns Ferrari and let them handle the sportcar market(ok they might be exotic sportcars. But that was his point). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abarth
