So, my local Fiat/Alfa dealership will have his first 124's on the lot this weekend. I already have my appointment to test drive one. Sadly no Abarth's in the first shipment but he expects to have those by July. I can honestly say I am pretty pumped

nice, i look forward to reading your thoughts.
any word on when the abarths will arrive? and if it'll have the abarth steering wheel?

I think it's a great alternative to the miata, the longer flatter hood makes it look good. I'm not sure what to think of the engine, the exhaust note doesn't sound as good as it was hyped to be. What about the turbo? Does it make any good turbo sounds stock or would that be easy to do?

its a 1.6 liter
not too much to consider

Expects to have Abarths by next month. I'm on a short list of like...3 other people who have been blowing them up about an Abarth over the last few months
I have driven the ND 5 separate times now, twice again this week just to have the experience fresh in my mind going to sit in a 124. based on reviews, I expect the Abarth 124 will be better in all respects. Not sure how a bog standard one will measure up, but I look forward to finding out.
The greatest thing about the engine in the 124 is that it can EASILY be tuned to extract 220+ hp. From what I've been told, the exhaust will sound pretty much identical to a 500 Abarth, with is plenty sexy enough for me already

wut theres Alfa dealers in the USA?
Jack Foster
You sound like some sort of salesman.

watercooler around where I work says they'll get destroyed by depreciation over a couple of years, the same way the FRS/BRZ did
could probably pick one up in two or three years for around 8k
Zachary Reed
I think he runs a pick-and-pull in PA somewhere. Not a salesman, just an honest blue-collar guy who's passionate about cars.
Parker Morris
Oh, it's a Fiat, so it will be destroyed by depreciation in the first couple of years. The only reason I am considering new is that if I DID get one, I'll be keeping it for 10-15 years, and I'd be willing to pay the premium to get one that was never molested/beat on by someone else
They won't fall to 8K, but I'll expect them to follow a depreciation curve similar to the 500 Abarth, which means 2-3 year old ones will likely sell for 16-18K depending on mileage and options.
