"hike" (hike15)

I’ve been doing some learning about the Fiat 124. Apparently, the blue is special to the first 124, which is a shame because it’s beautiful. I want one and don’t care that it’s probably not a great car for someone who drives 40k miles a year through the Poconos. But I don’t care. It’s just so wonderful. I assume it could be serviceable with snow tires as well.
I also couldn't find a single thing that wasn't Mazda on the inside. They did apparently rename the infotainment Fiat Connect though.

that’s a really nice blue.
and they may call it “FIAT Connect,” but that is 100% Mazda’s HMI.
Out, but with a W - has found the answer

Get a hardtop and winter tires for year-round fun!
Sad that you guys only get the blue on the launch editions, over here (mainland Europe) it’s just part of the optional colors. I’d guess it’ll probably become available in the next MY in the US, once the early adopters had their exclusivity period?

The question is: Why would you buy this instead of an MX-5? Aside from those unfortunate tail lights...

I will have to test drive one when they become available - the Abarth model - and see if I like it better that my 500 Abarth Cabrio. Then, I’ll have to see what’s the depreciation curve like, as I am not spending $30k+ on one.
If they depreciate like the 500's, I'll have one by 2020.

I already want to see if they will be for sale in Mexico, that and how does it sound.

Turbo. Easy to tune and can sound as good as the 500 Abarth.

I really want one, too, but a) no hardtop, either factory or aftermarket, available yet, and b) still just a vague “summer 2016" launch date, as in, don’t expect it in the next month or two.

Let's just say I get a way better deal on an fca product.

Oh definitely. I quote like the Mazda one. Though the newest version has a few extra steps for some simple tasks.
