Since the Fiat 500 was introduced last year, we have been asking this question; When is the Abarth 500 coming out? Well, Fiat has a answer for you. On the Fiat America Twitter page today, they said,

"From our friends FIAT USA - The FIAT 500 Abarth will be officially unveiled at this year's LA Auto Show. Get excited, get very excited!!"

Fiat hasn't said much about the Abarth 500 that will go on sale in the US. We're expecting Abarth versions of the 500 and 500c to be offered. A upgraded version of the 1.4-liter turbo with Multiair technology producing somewhere of 175 HP is also expected.

I swore I'd never go smaller than a Cobalt, but this little runt of a car has come kind of unexplainable pull on me.

Hey I saw a 500 for the first time yesterday and man is it small. Kinda cute though also did anyone else notice how similar the back end is to the PT Cruiser? Kinda forth coming or prequel or wat evah
