I HAD a 500Abarth....believe me (and mine - AC 215 HP with Quaife - wasn't the USA model with Multiair engine...) the worth of contents is a maximum of 25% of worldwide retail price. The European engine T-Jet 1.4 is very tunable but the multiair (great engine as philosophy ) has wide limits....
It's funny, trendy.....but first of all Marketing @95%.....I cannot see you that drive from Wyoming to California or from Boston to San Francisco...with 500A, but with a BRZ other that some track days, yes.
About the story....or History...it's 100% Poland or for your market 100% Mexico .....
I was very happy driving it, but as sport car (isn't a sport car) is poor. You drive at 50/60 cms from ground....entry is like a Renault Trafic or DHL/USPS parcel road cargo....
