- it's the NEW Fiat 500 (Abarth version).
Now even if I'm more of a Volkswagen-guy myself, and even though my parents drove no less than TWO original Mini's when I was a kid, I still think that this is the best "remake" of an old classic. The New Mini is just too big, and the New Beetle is just a tad too slick.
But this... This is good. Fiat's designers have managed to keep alot of the original design features, and at the same bringing it up-to-date, without compromising the familiar looks.
Obviously this, the sports version, has a body kit which strays a bit from the standard. But still.

- the standard edition. Still sexy.
