it got tons of attention at the philly show. i was rather dissappointed in the quality of the interior materials and the shifter was a rubbery mess.
still, i hope it does well. i want to see alfa back

Didn't watch the video on the link but I have seen allot of them in person. Just saw 4 of them on I-75 friday. A buddy of mine runs a bunch of their cnc machines at their newly re-tooled factory in dundee, Michigan. They are cool little cars. Make the wife's fiesta look huge.

Looks like the half-step between a GTI and a Beetle.

They would be nice if they were 10 grand...but the ones at the LA Auto Show were 20k.
No thanks. I'll take a Chevy Cruze with a 1.4 Turbo and 42mpg for 20k.

More competition can't be a bad thing, at least.

Competing against what? A Smart, which sells for 11,995?

A Smart is an over priced piece of absolute shit whose only quality is that you might have better luck finding a parking space on a city street. Otherwise its an excellent way to advertise your self as a moron who will spend your money on magic rat testicles.
The Fiat 500 is trying to cash in on the love that Mini got by making a Fiat Panda appeal to hipsters and people who recognize Luigi from the Movie "Cars". Supposed to be pretty decent to drive around town despite having arcade style\remote control steering (which as a GM person you would probably love) |
