future abarth models?

[salvo's yellow punto]

ok we got the 500 and grande abarth coming out. i wonder what future abarth models will be out.

bravo abarth?
panda abarth? that would be aceeeeeee i doubt they will though.
uno abarth?

Panda is an outside possibility but even then they may wait until the 2010 replacement model. And as long as there isn't a three door Bravo then I doubt there'll be an Abarth version. Uno seems the least likely candidate as it's being developed outside Europe as a car for 'expanding markets'.

Most interesting would be if FIAT give Abarth the money and the autonomy to develop a unique model (on Group underpinnings perhaps) in the style of a new Barchetta or Coupe.

Going back to the Bravo, a three-door version could look stunning, and how good would it be to see FIAT mount an assault on the WRC with a Bravo Abarth?

yea a 3 door bravo would be amazing.they have grown on me.abarth bravo :O:O

yea i heard that there might be plans of abarth making their own cars. a new x19 or some kind of new abarth spider.

i heard that there might be plans of abarth making their own cars.

several fiat announcements in the last year have said all fiat brands will use the same platforms, so any abarth would be a restyled fiat, in the same way the new alfa mito is a restyled grande punto. this is much cheaper than making new cars, so it is possible that abarth will release their own versions of fiat models in the future.
