Abarth 500C and Punto Evo Live in Geneva

I get your point. I think they didn't make the same distinction as you did between "girly" and "butch" but rather created a mini competitor. The mini is available as a convertible S version, so the 500 must offer the same model options. Since the comparison between mini and 500 was drawn in this article, especially in regards to performance, it should be noted that Fiat have an advantage over the mini: What Zack Newmark failed to mention is that the Abarth versions are available in standard and essesse trim. Which means you can have a more mellow hot hatch, and a direct 160Bhp 7.4 sec mini S competitor.
