    I think that looks better than the 500, but not nearly as trendy.

    They have to rename it.

    I snicker like a 16 year old boy every time I hear the name.

    It's like Spanish for pink lady bits.

    the Abarth name is not quite what it used to be.. but at least that Punto is the proper colour

    According to the dimensions I found online it is almost exactly the same size as the Mazda2/Fiesta.

    The Spanish "punta" translates to point/tip/end, which can be slang for butt. "Puta" translates to whore, that's the actual (very) insulting one. Punta's close enough to be funny to an English speaker.

    Beat me to it.. Ive lived 2-300 miles from Mexico my entire life and i never thought the word punto was particularly funny.
