Hmm that Abarth actually looks interesting

and either that dude is too big or that seat is too small for that guy lol

[drivingsports]

@Thesuperblack22 The standard 500 is a realllly small car.

the abarth is a serious contender...I hope the car I'm waiting for (Veloster turbo) will compete...it will interesting to see the comparisons. either way the TC, civic SI and others have to be worried.

This mess is funny XD.

@Thesuperblack22 No that's testing the Skyactiv mule earlier this year (previous episode), which is as stated in the dialog (though a bit abrupt). The exterior of the car we're driving there is at 1:33. It's the CX-5 underpinnings with a Mazda6 body slapped on top.

@thepiuma Im talking about at 1:25 . I dont think thats the Abarth

[Thesuperblack22]

@SmudgyTheGreat Nooooooo. @ 1:25 .

I believe everyone is taking what im saying out of contrast. I like the Abarth, and the seats that im talking about dont look like they belong to the Abarth. Maybe it's the Mazda CX-5's seats

[SmudgyTheGreat]

@Thesuperblack22 if you mean the seats @ 4:06 they belong to a different car from another episode.

I love fiat's styling, but inside their back seats aren't even large enough for children, and cargo space is almost zero. But you don't buy a 500 for those things. You buy a 500 to look different, or appreciate the small unique design.

@Thesuperblack22 the last images are about a lexus is-f test. About the 500 yes is a small car, especially for the us standards, but i'm a big guy and i fit with no problem in a normal 500 (don't know how the abarth racing seat are) Bye.

@Pinosen FWD is fine in this car for it's power level. Rear drive would be nice but not gonna happen, however AWD would seem like a logical step to take with more power of course :-p

[Pinosen]

i like it but its so...so...front wheel drive =/
