Just goes to show different tastes
For me the wheels are one of the worst bits for me!
Seeing those petal style ones in white makes me want to get some resprayed like that though.
At the risk of going OT I'm a bit of a wheel whore too. Got myself a 6 month IT temp job today so the Speedline 2109's I bought for my wife will be going off for a refurb soon :woot: I almost bought a silver set for the 500 the other day even though i've already got 2 sets of wheels for the 500 and some would argue that's 1 set too many! Perhaps I can have winter wheels, summer wheels and autumn/spring wheels? :chin:I love odd looking wheels though. I still want some chrome euro style wheels on my car.
Failing that, some Ronal Turbos with body coloured centers.
See a similarity there? All VAG products, I believe.
Part of VAG too. Havent you noticed those very Audi like saloons they make?
Guarenteed they won't be half as refined and probably 10 times slower at changing gear.....but hey, it's Fiat's first attempt at making this work on a quickish car
No, what I'm saying is that the DDCT boxes have the potential to be better than the DSG boxes.Guarenteed they won't be half as refined and probably 10 times slower at changing gear.....but hey, it's Fiat's first attempt at making this work on a quickish car

I agree with you. People don't seem to make a distinction between different sorts of cars like a GT, a supercar, a hot hatch etc etc. I can never for instance see the point of an auto box in a supermini myself.
My 504 had 3 speed auto and it matched the character of the car perfectly. People seem to find more gears impressive for some reason as well. IMHO a 5 speed box is more than adequate for most cars unless you've got a particularly peaky/high revving NA engine.Also some of them have too many gears and hunt a fair bit, for an auto give me a three speed and a 60's V8 for the perfect match: starting off gear, moving gear, moving much faster gear. All you need
looks horrid...also, where are the vaunted paddle shifts? hope fiat arent gonna cobble those in at the last minute.
will probably end up with a gearchange like the smart, which will cripple the car. i mean lets face it, this aint gonna be no tiptronic changer is it!
That's kind of my objection to it. It doesn't look like a serious car to me. It looks more what happens to Porsche's when some silly tuning company gets a perfectly decent looking Porsche and adds silly bits to it and ruins a cohesive design.
