Again. There was a reason they left the US in the first place. How's the 500 doing, by the way? Don't see very many on the road anymore.

Pretty well. Sales are slowing down and they only moved 25,000 units in 2015 versus 40,000 for the Mini which is really the closest competitor but only sort of as there's also the 4-door mini, which is more practical by far. Fiat 500X is doing well. It's outselling what I would probably go with in that segment, which is the Mazda CX-3.

Plus they've got Abarth versions of the 124 and 500x coming. Rumored to both use the 1.75 engine from the 4C.

The Fiat Abarth 124 Spider is Stiffer, Faster, and Louder Road & Track

Apparently it's still the same 1.4 just tuned slightly hotter, probably just more noise than go but as long as it's not priced ridiculously should still be fun. The Abarth 500 was pretty reasonable so there's hope there. That said, stiffer sway bars, Bilsteins, and the LSD is all good. Apparent 100 pound diet is good. No Giulietta engine is what I expected but that would be sweet.

A better one to bring over would be the Tipo in hatch and wagon form:

^^^That's not bad looking. If they priced it competitively, it might succeed here.
