Just received the June issue of "Automobile". Small article on bottom of page 56 concerning the apparently Late Spring intro of the Abarth 500 in the USA. they write:
"Expect about 160 hp to START (emphasis mine), a whopping 60 percent increase over the standard 500, but it'll be about a year from now (mine) before you can buy one."
This is the some of the same info as in 'Motor Trend'. The article didn't mention the 6-speed transmission though. Any corroboration such as this , I consider very good news although the apparent push back of the launch date blows. Let's hope that the source the article used isn't leading us down the proverbial primrose path!
