damn those hairdressers move fast!

It's amazing how much guff these car magazines make up. That whole article is just rubbish and doesn't tell us anything new.

"As our exclusive main picture shows" - It's exclusive because you photoshopped it!

The Abarth image was a nice try, but they've left it with a white Lounge interior.

"Flared wheelarches and 135 - 200bhp" - None of the spy shots of the Abarth have had flared arches and as we've discussed to death, only AE still think there will be a 200bhp road version.

And prices from £15,000??? For a 135 bhp car??? They won't sell many of those then.

The regular car will "hit UK showrooms in January" - Errr. Feb 8th is the official date.

It seems to be the cheaper POPULAR version which is all sold out and has long waiting lists.

The SPORT version seems to be available in continental europe for immediate delivery.

Maybe Fiat made too many expensive ones and not enough cheap ones Jazzy.

I hope they keep it realistically priced however. It's a great car and better quality than other little Fiats I have seen, but people still will not pay stupid prices for it.

Speaking to people over here in Italy they reckon fiat are only making high spec 500s for the first few months. This is so the first ones people see look good.

could be same in ukOnly sport and lounge first - more expensive - popular may come later when all who are willing to pay mega bucks have paid up. Good expensive ones to the diehard fans firat and cheaper ones to everyone else later.that would make autoexpress information on page 14 correct. they are saying 'from 11000' which could be right if only lounge and sport on sale.Auto express also saying if you order now you will not get til next summer.They are Working flat out to produce lhd so rhd customers will have to wait their turn.
