What? No Bentley toilet to send off my scentless shits to the plebeian knaves who suckle at my feet to collect all my trickle down wealth?
It looks sort of very GM. Oh wait, no shit.
Until I see these things in showrooms, I'm not convinced they're coming to the US. I don't care if they built US spec ones already. I'm just not convinced.
You nailed it. It just isn't as big of a deal to them. My dad's from Germany and he basically follows this philosophy.
Yeah that's what happens when you lift off too much and don't know how to handle a car properly.
I miss old New Top Gear. Seasons 1-5 are the best.
Looks a lot more like this than a Mazda to me. My vote goes to the Pontiac G6.
I'm an American, and I never understood the point of owning an enormous pickup or enormous SUV for the majority of people who own them. They seldom use the truck for its intended purpose. Sure if you live on a farm or your job requires it, it makes a lot of sense. If you live in a part of the US few to no paved roads,…
Good point. I'm pretty sure you can change the speakers without changing the whole deck, it just involves a lot of wire messing about.
Amen.
That's exactly what I would do if I bought an Abarth. Or try to find a separate audio unit compatible with the car.
How's the turn in? I imagine the driving dynamics are pretty different from pretty much any car.
Gotta love overrated audio equipment. I really wish Sennheiser or Klipsch made car audio.
I was thinking along the lines of JBL, actually. They do a good job all around. Finding one to fit the Abarth would be a task I think. I'd still do it.
It really does remind me of a puppy that wants to play every waking moment and won't stop bothering you. Unlike the puppy, the car doesn't grow out of it. To me, as great as it is, it's more of a 2nd car than a dd. I had the feeling less so when I drove the Focus ST, but then again it also wasn't quite as fun. I'm not…
I figured this would be the case, but sometimes I want to just relax. I guess you don't buy an Abarth to relax, you buy it to lift off oversteer everywhere and at every given moment. The 4 banger/exhaust combo make a really great sound. You can even get some crackling out of it if you really get going. Boards of…
Ok I hate to admit it, but the only thing stopping me from wanting a 500 Abarth is the Beats Audio. They used to be built with Bose, which is pretty good, but switched to Beats, which sounds worse (to my amateur audiophile ears). Unacceptable. A good stereo means a lot to me in my DD, and I'd have to replace the Beats…
I have wanted one of these in respectable condition for so long, and I swear ever time I look at listings the prices go up by several grand. It's pretty much the most emotionally distressing thing in the world.
