    God that looks tempting - I think the Miata is a better car from a technical standpoint, but I like the Fiata's styling better.
    The Fiata is lame in the city. The turbo 1.4L is crazy laggy. I've heard it's suspension is tuned better though, less body roll

      Kinda looks like an Italian-flavored Mustang...?

        That's the vibe I was getting - the extra torque over the Miata is nice, but the turbo lag cancels it out.

        And as for the engine..."We're an Italian make infamous for questionable build quality - I know, let's partner with Chrysler!"

        Then again, you're an ECU flash away from 200 HP and stomping every Miata on the planet...

            On my drive to Rochester (MN) last night, saw a purple Diablo. Dam that thing was pretty.
            Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                  Most are. Youngins are going for the Aventador or Huracan.

                        Just googled a general search. Still trash, and I have no love for Rick Ross, rapper. Why? Poser.

                          IF there’s an uglier line of cars that Alfa Romeo, I haven’t seen them. God those things are hideous.

                              I had to replace my rear brakes, the pads and rotors. My car's mileage is just under 60k. The dealership wanted $400+disposal and sales tax. My niece (mechanic) took $100 to do the job and I bought the parts for $125. I will gladly throw her some side work from here on out.

                                Beg to differ. That 4C is best waifu.
