The 500 Abarth is coming

What Mazda is that?

JLo is jumping on a white one on the AMAs. My wife asked at the beginning if that JLo car would feature, lol.

YES PLEASE. Sorry I had to scream it!

In reply to Taiden:

Just a regular Mazda2 with a few Bspec goodies bolted onto it, I think.

The specs on their web site show a 190hp version will be available.

If the abarth is everything they say it is.

I really might just take a hit and trade up since im going to want to mod my car anyways.

When you factor in buying a turbo kit or SC then factor in buying brembos and rims etc. The costs quickly will be much much more than a abarth and your warranty is gone.

We will see how good the abarth is.......I hope its a flop so I dont trade up my car! LOL HA

In reply to chandlerGTi:

The US will get the most powerful version of the abarth its already been stated now.

With cars like the the WRX,Mazda speed,Focus ST they US does have some of the most HP producing cars on the small car market.

So they already know they must turn up the wick. They also want to stomp out the john cooper works mini and still be cheaper.

190-200hp is whats being said so far on the US spec abarth from alot of sources. Italians also seem to stick by there statments and ideas even if they are good or are bad.

Abarth 500 vs BRZ/FT86. Who will win?

I am thinking about in a year or two putting my money towards an Abarth.

Well the price for the Abarth is out 22k.

Tempting at that price and close to the FR-S. Guess I'll have to drive them both to decide! Then read the GRM review to see what I missed.
