The 124 Abarth should be between $35-$40k and have an options list similar to the 500 Abarth's (mostly comfort/convenience options), meaning a person could probably swing the 4C powered 124 for about $37K base and $42K loaded.
If this all ends up being close, what's crazy is that the 124 Abarth will have the same powerplant as the 4C but run about 200 lbs lighter but for $20K less!

It would be a an incredible value for performance for sure. The 4C is so expensive because of the carbon fiber tub and all the other expensive lightweight materials. Fiat is taking advantage of the work Mazda did and the car is relatively inexpensive.
I think I like some of the Fiat 124 renders better than the MX-5 as well.
