2017 Fiat 124 Spider gallery

Collaborating with Mazda on the 2017 Fiat 124 Spider might be the best decision Fiat has made in a long time. The new drop-top might be a rebadged, restyled MX-5 Miata, but that's no bad thing on the road, and the Italian marque has given it a distinctive look and feel reminiscent of the 124 Spider.

Under the lengthy hood things stay distinctive, with a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine that Fiat has borrowed from the Abarth 500. The little slice of Italian flare should show up in dealerships next year.
