*ETA - They picked it up. Start the approximately six month countdown!

Kinja'd!!!

How would you spec your 124 Spider? Like this... Here’s the one I just ordered. Arbarth, black, manual, Recaro seats, Brembos. BOOM! They opened up ordering yesterday and I had mine in immediately. No clue on how long it will take for it to be made in Japan and shipped to Ohio, or if they’ll actually even pick the order up at all. We just got Fiat at the dealership where I work this month, so we’re pretty low on the priority list I’m sure.

Awesome! I see them all the time and they are def cool little cars. Only seen 1 Abarth so far though, and it was just on display.

Nice - wifey will be riding in style. I hope it sounds as good as the 500 Abarth.

Definitely one of my favorite new cars. I’ve only seen it in White non-abarth form. Everytime I see it I wonder if I could ever own one.

I’d spec mine with an auto though. I know burn the herectic, but NYC traffic just is no place to drive a manual on a regular basis.

I didn’t realize the Abarth was available already. Congrats! I’m thinking about ordering one next year, but can’t decide between Abarth and Lusso, mainly because I do an insane amount of highway driving.

I’m a sucker for fully-loaded cars, so I’d get a fully-loaded red Abarth with the manual. Well, fully-loaded except for the black hood/trunk “racing heritage black center band,” which is most definitely not worth the $1995.

As a nation, our more deranged murderers mostly just bomb, behead, and beat people to death with their bare hands, although sometimes they eat and/or incinerate people, and very rarely do they kill using axes.

Since black, white, and grey are all on a gradient scale and technically not colours, it’s usually gold or red.

I love the red, and almost ordered it that way, but the Abarth has so much black plastic in the front that I think it would look better in all black. Plus I kind of have an obsession with all black cars.

I like the all black too, but then I couldn’t have the black bonnet and boot. So red it is cause some reason we don’t get blue.
