General The 500C abarth is here!!!..(maxi):-)

it's strange to see that all the 500 owners/fans love the 500 (obviously) and yet there seems to be a very cold response towards the A500C, i don't understand how love can turn to hate just by making a car topless!? (different story if it were a female)

Well it's just pointless.......
 
so that's a win for the marketing bean counters then......and the "brand" dilution gathers pace, as does the apparant neediness to keep up with the coopers....and the giordinis

Brand values are just a marketing ploy. Prospective buyers of an Abarth 500c will likely be uninterested in them. For those that are there is the hard top.
Look at that! Fiat attempting to reach a larger share of the market. Good on them.

Yeah but that's like pimping your mum and sister out for an extra bit of money.....
 
Well maybe i'm just too laid back, but i think it's nice to have the choice when the suns shining and there's a summer breeze, would make my cruising down the beach front in the summer more fun! Would also be able to hear the exhaust better.
Well why didnt you get the sunroof in the first place when you ordered yours? :confused:
Plus I don't see the point of cruising with (how many?) hp under the bonnet when a regular 500 C would do the job (plus it is much prettier imo)

You cruise with a 500C and you race with an Abarth. Abarth C is a bit of a bastard niche imo.

Because the sunroof eats headroom, and i'm 6ft. And also I like to race and cruise when circumstances permit! (can't exactly "race" in a 30 zone next to a beach full of children, parents and hot chicks can i :p)
 
because it's just too ott and selling out the brand values imo

What brand values? It's only something Fiat created ( or resurrected ) a couple of years ago to sell more cars. It's not some exclusive little club they've made.
If the 500c Abarth sells then they have done the right thing.

You can argue anything you like is pointless. How about chrome bumper trims.

It's not a proper pillarless posing convertible anyway :)
