Is the Fiat 124 Spider the new Silvia/180-240sx?

Is the Fiat 124 Spider the new Silvia/180-240sx?

I'm getting a little excited for it, thoughts?

yes

Yooooo

shit is getting slick

with Fiat in the shitter, I wonder what kind of crazy deals they'll offer on this thing
shit would be so much fun with a good tune

since its a mazda underneath HOW ABOUT MAZDA AND VOLSWAGEN FUSE TO BE STRONK

>federalizing mazda skyactiv diesels in america making available to both vw and mazda, vw's 4 cylinders are garbage we all know this
>replace 2.5 inline 5 cylinder in passat and jetta with mazda 2.5 inline 4
>replace 2.slow with mazda 2.0
>make a touareg people can actually fucking afford by building it off of the mazda cx9 platform
>rebadge the amarok and sell it as mazda truck
>make minivan to fill the empty void in both mazda and vw's american lineup by making one off of the mazda 6 or cx9 platform
>ressurrect bluesport concept and make a rear engine wankel powered rx7 and vw scirrocco
>wagons, fucking mazda 6 wagons and passats fucking now

and you wont see a awd mazda 6 wagon in america because theres no auto awd mazda 6 for burgers
>beneficial leech like alliance where volkswagen is too stupid and lazy to develop cars for the american market can use mazda platforms to better provide the cars it doesnt have
>dsg for mazda cars with awd

w0y

to sell more cars

new rx9 platform, can let vw sell it as a porsche. mazda uses vw transmissions and larger motors like the 3.0t and gets to sell its diesels in america along with a truck from vw to sell as both vw and mazda, and vw gains more models to sell in america and better 4 cylinders along with economical platforms to build vehicles off of but the bluesport should be resurrected and shared with both but with a wankel not a diesel motor

>Mazda market vs. Porsche market

Porsche owners aren't stupid, they won't buy a Porsche just for the badge like BMW owners will when the new Supra comes out. They'll just buy the Mazda and VW gets no money off of it

Hope so. We can really use some alternatives to 3-series in yurop.

>open diff drifting on dry
Can't imagine anything worse

Isn't it just an MX-5 with a different body? Just get an MX-5 for cheaper.

it has an LSD
and a turbo

sign me up!

Really though, would totally get this over the toyobaru.

Would get honda fit over toyobaru. It actually does what they say it does
>200hp
>sports car

No. It'll be a cheap and easy Miata for modding, nothing more.

>fusing best company and worst company
dear god no

>volkswagen
>rwd cars
LMAO

I wish there will be a coupe version. If you have 180cm+ /6 smelly feet+ than roadsters suck.

>with Fiat in the shitter
Why would you say something like that?

But it's rwd, cheap, and has a turbo

isn't that what the silvia is?

>Why would you say something like that?

Don't they have really low sales?

just stick an aftermarket roof on it

I don't see how this a problem considering it's so cheap in the first place- it's literally the cheapest rwd turbo money can buy

>160hp
For having a turbo it's pretty slow
How much boost could you run before it blows up?

>How much boost could you run before it blows up?

With a tune, a lot. The compression ratio is going to be low since it's coming from the factory already turboed allowing for a lot of wiggle room without the the need to modify the engine.

It's literally the Silvia we never got in the US except lighter

And 2 seater, part of why I like my 240 is that it's still somewhat practical

Now you have a 240sx that had a baby with a Miata. Also the Fiat will have way less problems than your 240 since it's shared with Mazda win-win.

it's literally the perfect car and will be competing in rally meaning more improvements down the line
get friends who have a car now

Can the engine be modded for revs? 6250rpm redline is pathetic for a 1.4 liter

Sure it can

Modern DBW engines are basically computers that can be modded at will

>convertible

>he doesn't know how to have fun

stick an aftermarket one on it

>gets sold in the US
>gets swapped with a LS engine
Sad times

>replace 2.5 inline 5 cylinder in passat and jetta with mazda 2.5 inline 4
>replacing based 5cyl

why doe?

Put a porsche engine with more power in it for the porsche version

>he drives a diesel fiat
>he thinks fiats are good

>rx9 platform, can let vw sell it as a porsche
So like a new FR layout Porsche? Like a new 924/944?
