In Italian? I mean, how do Italians pronounce "Abarth"? Puzzles me, because as far as I know there is no "th" sound in Italian (or in Carlo's original homeland of Austria), as in our English "the", "this", or "bath". It would be nice if someone here could get us all pronouncing it correctly.

Well, the Italians I know say Abart.... however being English and obstinate I will always say Abarth... what I hate is A barth like the one you wash in

Ah . . .

And where does the stress fall? Is it A-bart or A-bart?

John

i recon it's A-bart maybe with an italian esq E on the end, so to me it would be cinquecento a-bart-e
do we not have any italian members who could shed some light on this

phone Abarth in Torino and ask to speak to someone about the Arrbarrf 500
they will soon spit out

you mean?

abART
