2013 Fiat Abarth 500! I purchased this car new this past January and have enjoyed every second of owning it! It has slept in a nice dry garage since it was purchased to this day. The car comes factory with a 1.4L 4 cylinder that is turbocharged with a Garrett turbocharger. When in sport mode the motor produces 160HP and 170 FT Lbs of torque at 18 PSI! The car is a joy to drive, everyone who rides in it just smiles and laughs the whole time. Its a very misleading car. The car also gets 30mpg! If you have driven the regular Fiat 500 it does not compare to the Abarth. The Abarth is a completely different car. Acceleration in this is exciting, boost is instantaneous and there is power throughout the whole power band. The best feature though has to be the exhaust. The fiat engineers spend countless hours perfecting it. Everywhere I go people are surprised when I say the exhaust is stock.

This specific car is pretty much new, it only has about 6000 miles (view photo for most recent mileage). The car has a few minor rock chips that aren't noticeable unless if you really look for them in the proper light. As seen in the pictures they aren't noticeable. The car also has a tiny dent in the drivers fender that isn't noticeable in most angles. I have included a photo of said dent. I have changed the wheels to a set of 16x8 Varrstoen V3. They are wrapped in Kumo ECSTA XS Tires, which have around 1000 miles of use. Along with the wheels the car has upgraded suspension. BC Coilovers were installed before the car had 1000 miles. BC Coilovers have 30 way adjustable dampening, along with ride height adjustability. If you aren't familiar with BC I suggest you take some time to research their product as they make some of the best coilovers in the business. The car does include the stock wheels, tires, and suspension components so the new owner can decide which route to take. The car has full warranty and with the sale of the car is included the "Abarth experience" which is a track day that all new Abarths come with, the new owner will get to pick the date! The car is currently financed so the buyer and I will have to coordinate to make arrangements with the bank. Below I have included a link to my photobucket account. Take a look for additional pictures.

Fiat board makes Chrysler merger official, approves $5.4B bond sale

Mon, 16 Jun 2014

Fiat's board of directors has officially approved the merger plan that will see the conglomerate's automotive operations merged with Chrysler into the new Fiat Chrysler Automobiles.
The plan essentially provides a road map for the structure of the new company. It includes provisions for Fiat shareholders - one Fiat share will translate to one share of FCA common stock. The new company will also include a loyalty voting structure, which will provide for shareholders of Fiat stock or those that have held FCA stock for at least three years. According to the plan, these shareholders would see their voting power double, with two votes for every share of FCA's common stock. The overall merger plan still needs to be approved by the company's shareholders.
In other Fiat-related news, the company's board has announced a bond issuance of four billion euro ($5.4 billion). The new bonds should provide the company with a degree of flexibility in refinancing debts associated with the merger plan.

The right way to own and operate a vintage Fiat 500

Sat, 04 May 2013

Annetta Calisi and her husband have restored their Fiat 500D to the same specification with which it left the factory in 1964. The result is a cheeky yellow cinquecento that looks the part of a 1960's movie star car. For that matter, so does Annetta, who dresses appropriately mod for this latest Petrolicious video, The Speed of Sunshine.
At one point in the video, the lucky owner mentions, "I keep saying 'fun' don't I?" which does a fine job of summing up what it must be like to own this little rascal. Watch below, and smile.
Have you seen the rest of the really well-made Petrolicious video series? If you like classic metal, well shot and well recorded, you should check out our tag page, here (we think you've earned a little video break).

Maserati planning second smaller SUV?

Sun, 16 Dec 2012

Maserati's product plans have taken a few wild turns, but as we get closer to production dates for the long-awaited offerings things are getting a wee bit clearer. The the sixth-generation Maserati Quattroporte is here, and a quick recap according to a report in Car and Driver has the smaller Ghibli sedan on Chrysler's LX/LY platform next, then the next-generation GranTurismo coupe and cabrio on a Maserati platform, then the Kubang SUV concept (pictured) that, for production, will become the larger Jeep-Cherokee-based Levante SUV.
All of which gets us to 2015. That same year, according to the report, the Levante will get a brother: a smaller SUV or crossover, perhaps sized like the Kubang concept, to challenge the Audi Q5 and the Porsche Macan. It is predicted to use the Compact US Wide platform, built for front-wheel and all-wheel-drive vehicles, that supports the Dodge Dart and 2014 Alfa Romeo Giulia. In addition to giving the premium brand a competitor in what is a very popular segment, a Maserati move slightly downmarket can help fill a gap while Fiat brass figures out what to do with Lancia.
