The Want is Still Strong

The Fiat 124 is finally on dealer lots! It’s such a fantastic little car! Probably my 3rd favorite car I've driven. Great fun to drive, shockingly comfortable, and well priced.

Looks great to me (enjoy the nightmares)

I think you’ve genuinely ruined the 124 for me. I can’t stop seeing it now.

I can’t wait until they start renting these in Italy. I’ve been planning my Tuscan road trip for a while, and I’m hoping this will be a nice upgrade from a Fiat 500 (and a lot cheaper than any other upscale convertible or vintage rental).

I’m laughing so hard, but feel terrible at the same time.

This is kind of how I look at my desk (eyes wide, trying to restrain the smile)

Looks more like it has an overbite to me...very Simpson-esque. Still an amazing car, though.

Cool! I just pinged my local dealer to see when they get any Abarths in.

Damn that looks goofy. It's even worse than press pictures led me to believe.

Very nice! Can’t wait to see them on the roads! :)

No shit! I’ve been waiting for this. I have to see what dealers around me have one in and try to test drive one this weekend.

It REALLY needs the upgraded lights to look good imo.

I think that all these need are either bigger wheels or simply less wheel gap. Almost double the amount of gap than the Charger next to it.

The Charger is on 20s, the 124 is in the base 17s. The only option this 124 had was an automatic. It did make for a surprisingly smooth ride.

Is it about all prettier in person than a strung out earthworm?

I know a few people that have them on order. Should be a fun little car.

I actually saw my first current gen Miata’s on the road the other day, 2 on the same road! Good looking cars as well.
