How nice do you think it'll be when the car is 4-5 years old, sitting on a used lot? Srs question here; I've no idea but I think worn alcantara/microfiber could be a bad time

BOOM. Two birds, one stone, thank you very much

You know, there's one surefire way to make sure your ignition does not fall victim to gravity, bad roads or knees.

My thoughts exactly. What easier way to drive costs down than to create competition?

F

I'm not sure, but I think my point may have been missed. To sum up, the reason the D40 cannot lose weight is the same reason the Challenger can't lose weight - they're both tied to a platform that just will not allow it

the Challenger shares the LX platform with the Charger and 300. They call it LC but only because its slightly modified

The D44 and the Challenger face the same problem - they're built on a chassis developed for a much larger and heavier vehicle

All the D22 needs is some interior touchups, some LEDs in the headlamps and boxier fenders to be competitive today

I know

Just bring back the D21 already

I imagine its more of people trying to buy the 4c, seeing the payment and deciding "Hey, the Abarth is a third of the price and still Italian and awesome, lets buy that instead"

It really is too bad you east coasters will probably never know the joy of Illegal Pete's.

Anywhere from $54k to about $70, according to WOT.

Why FIAT dealerships? Because people will come to look and hem and haw at the 4C. Most of these people probably can't afford it. They know it, the dealership knows it, FIAT knows it. You know what they likely can afford though? An Abarth.

Still excited about the Moab meet! I've further shelved any progress on the Saab in order to get the Dakota ready to go. I still have some suspension and exhaust work to do, and unfortunately it'll still be at factory ride height until I can do a SAS, but I should have the big problems hammered out in time!

We need more notice than this if you expect us to play the [un]Official Car Pundit Drinking Game

In the latest issue of [INSERT CAR MAG HERE] the Abarth came in 3rd behind the new Mini (sic) Cooper S and the Fiesta ST. The Fiesta I can just about understand - it's quicker and more comfortable but it does not sound like half a Ferrari.

Shhh stop bringing attention to us!
