Owens Fri, 18 Nov 2011 07:00:00 +0000 http://www.slashgear.com/?p=195998#comment-154922 Think M3????? Gimme a Break. More like an MP3 with trainning wheels. This car is a reincarnation of the Iacocca HP upgrade years of the late 70′s at Ford. Slap a few 3M Corporation decals on the side of the plastic extended body and change the HP rating from SAE net to SAE gross.  This US import wannabe needs to get a personality lobotomy and go back to bit roles in Pixar movies. Jeesch!!!

HA. This is technology from the 80′s recycled back to the super stupid uber lightweights of this country. Well…maybe not, sales ARE off some 36,000 units from projections. 

The REAL problem with THIS car is that the AVERAGE American will have to buy two of them (one for each foot) in order to get around. At least they can store them in their walkups.

Think M3….. or just try reading… comprehension.

I want to see one after it meets an Escalade face to face. These cars are fine for European high traffic city drivers but you must be insane to drive one in the big roads of USA!

At least he did his research.  You sir are a hypocrite.

That 9.4 is what the regular fiat 500 does.

Dumb article from someone who is either easily impressed, knows nothings about cars or was paid by Fiat.

(So they put it on one car, and no others? Wrong. They put it on EVERY Abarth model, which hardly makes it one-of-a-kind, you dope!)
