We’ve seen all the pictures of the new Maz.....er Fiat 124 Coupé.
What we haven’t realised that all these images were of the “rest of the world” edition. Those of you who opt to live in America and Canada are going to get something a little different. Like this. It’s from !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! so it must be right.

With an 80-hp engine under the hood.

This indicator light should be removed for the US spec.

You work for UPS now, so you can always steal an engine and swap it in.

Yes - safer is a fatter crash bar, and less awareness for other drivers.
Also, explosive roll-hoops.

The one on the side? Not necessarily, they’re legal there.

I’m in the minority that actually wishes our car bumpers could still withstand 5mph impacts with no damage.

I think one issue (apart from the level of hideousness) was that they cost more to repair if you happened to hit someone at more than 5 mph.

The insurance industry has been pushing to reinstate that standard for 30 years, primarily because it was so effective at reducing repair costs.
The automakers lobbied to drop it, because it did increase manufacturing costs, as well as making vehicles more challenging to design. By the end, they started doing a pretty good job of finding ways to integrate the bumpers into their newer cars in an attractive way, but they still preferred not to have to do that.
