Thought this would be a hands-down win for the Abarth. Everyone complained about the lack of a turbocharged engine in the Miata, but now that it's here, there are issues with turbo lag, lack of top-end pull and responsiveness.
Wonder if it would have been the same story had Subaru thrown the WRX engine in the Twins.
I like the way the Abarth looks in that color combo (minus the black hood). In the pictures the extra length helps make the car look sleeker compared to the stubby Miata. I agree with Jurnecka that the ideal combo might be Fiat chassis + Miata engine.

Great article. What's so fascinating to me is the price difference from our beloved twins, considering we have a LSD in the base model (though it is the only model as we know :P).
What really intrigues me about the new Miata compared to our twins is the convertible factor. I love convertibles! But I don't know if I'd pay more for the drop top and lose the LSD. If they were the same price I would've had a LOT more thinking to do!
