Why don't FIAT make fast production cars anymore? They took the Abarth name and dragged it through the mud with tacky body mods replacing genuine abarth engines. Sad. I miss my Autobianci A112 Abarth so much. The b*stard who drove it off the cliff I will always hate.

what i dont understand is why they introduced it at the geneva motorshow 6 months ago?then not bring it out till jan next year .even be feb or march shocking time period.you would think it was frickin handmade or something really special....................
the delay is down to the engines. my fiat dealer said all the engines are being used up in the 150 t-jey bravo as this is the same engine as the abarth. the bravo is takin priority.
what dealers say and what is truth that's debatable,but lets say its true....?? how unorganised is that by a so called modern car company car very unprofessional
.....but your looking at it from a personal not a business point of view.You have a top selling car so you leave it that way until sales show signs of dropping off slightly.....then you introduce the 'limited edition' models etc to regain the interest.However unless the dealer has inside information I doubt they really know 100% what happening in the future or 'whats in the pipeline' for future versions/models.
it will be nearly a year from 1st seen to actual having 1 in a showroom.also 2 years after the launch of the GP they bring a sport versionut, vauxhall had it within 8 months i think give or take.as for the lack of engines ie bravo sport t-jet 150 they also put the t-jet 120 in the bravo and the t-jet GP is out 2 months,doesnt make sense to me.people in the market for such a car will just shop elsewhere lose of sales in my view.it has also been said abarth sales outlets will be limited to 120 for the whole of europe not every fiat dealer in the uk will have them

Have to agree Fiat are very slow at bring out the 'sportier models'
Like Jassyo said other manufacturars are much quicker, Renault Clio 197 came out pretty much from day one of the new Clio launch and the Corsa VXR and the 207 GTI are also now available.
On the plus side, at least its not available for me to be tempted by!

i agree it has taken them a while to bring it out, on the other hand i think it will be worth the wait lol.
i prefer the twingo concept, if the RS version of it looks anything like it i will be having one. sorry guys.

That was at donny park last sunday wasn't it?
I take it you were there?
no mate i didn't go in the end, it was the renault world series at donny though. it's a mates picture from the meganesport site. my order will be in place if it looks anything even remotely like that. quite liking the twingo gt too, £10k brand new, not bad. 1.2 litre engine.... turbo! haha! 100bhp, 0-62 in 9.8seconds. cheaper to insure than the gp sporting, fuel economy not that far behind and cheaper on the tax, i must admit i am very tempted!

the rs is very nice, not sure on that colour though. would have to be the red or a metallic blue like vauxhalls VXR blue.
