We have the 500e. It's not exactly the same fun as the FR-S, but my god is it fun. Abarth was a 2nd place to the FR-S in my books. Only problem with the 500 is the crappy driving position, which I'd fix if it wasn't a lease.

I saw one I really liked, but I don't know the model or year; it was old, though. They had some craziness going on with the engine where the rear cover wouldn't shut anymore so they apparently said "fuck it" and just left it propped open. That's some gangsta shit right there.

The car looks and sounds great, but jeez that commercial is long-winded and annoying...

I've already got a lovely lady, there's ten times as many beautiful women as there will be 4C's. I could do without the voiceover and people, all the shots of the car in motion were gorgeous, Abarth commercial appealed to people who look for fap material on television. |

Abarth commercial is one of the best ever. It talks of the seduction of cars without saying "A CAR IS LIKE A WOMAN! FALL IN LOVE WITH IT" It connects emotionally without screaming at you.

Love the 4c though, so very glad they toned down the alien-looking headlights for the domestic release.

Too long, guys voice was too lispy and breathy, the script was odd too, random 0-60 time thrown in there followed by random crap about the car being Jesus in metal form
This is still one of my favorite commercials. No talking, just one of the most beautiful sounds in the world: [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0_GCuim9kY"]2014 Audi R8 V10 Plus Commercial - AMAZING engine sound! HD - YouTube[/ame]

Mine had to be the original NSX with those old farts thinking it was a Ferrari. On a side note, after spending 10-15 minutes discussing a 2014 Viper with the local salesman, the guy wouldn't even return my call to see if he can refer me to a Fiat associate! Let's be honest, I do like to spend an hour on research before I buy a hunk of metal, plastic and rubber so maybe its my fault and I maybe wasting his time. But I'm almost done my payments and my beloved FR-S should still be worth 10g's when the warranty expires. Whatever, if I can find a girlfriend or wife that drives a lifted SUV (no SUC, please), I still want!! |

the whole video is shouting and tits, car's in maybe 1/10th of the video, you're wrong. @Ammonia, agreed, I'd take a version without the voiceover and cut out the people. That Audi does very little for me, awesome backfiring. |

IDgaf if it's an automatic.. That argument is so irrelevant at this point for these types of cars.
I'd buy the shit out of this car and I'm not even a big Alfa fan.

It is not at all irrelevant. Is it a dealbreaker? With todays flappy paddle thingies, automatic isn't a detriment to performance like it once was, but it does still matter to many people.
