Fiat's 124 Spider Will Not Be A MX-5 Clone As First Thought - All New Sheet Metal

The Fiat 124 Spider and its Abarth offshoot will be much further apart than first thought, senior company sources have revealed.

The new Mazda MX-5-based sports cars, which are due in 2016, were among 30 Fiat Chrysler Automobiles products shown at a global dealer conference in Las Vegas last week.

While it was known that the 124 Spider would spawn an Abarth version, as with other Fiats in the range, what has become clear is just how different the pair will be.

As long as the Fiat has more power than the wheezer Miata, it will sell.

If a greassy hairy sweaty drunk fat finger Italian has any part in putting this fiat together...I'm buying the Yugo convertible!

You are aware it will be built in Japan, right?
