How do those FIATs hold up. I owned a FIAT many years ago. Always in the shop. We used to say "FIAT = Fix It Again Tony". Then after becoming FCA, the Chrysler vehicles had a crap ton of issues. FIAT isn't known for long lasting quality. But I would be interested in how that EV is working out.

OTOH, I shouldn't say anything... Tesla is visiting me today for my 3rd visit :ROFLMAO:

I thought I was the only one... :) 500 GQ Edition here. We use it when we go camping. It's pretty hysterical that I own both but I guess it's more common than you think...

It’s a good ad. It’s just showcasing how friendly and approachable the fiat is… which it is.

Nobody is cross shopping the two. Owning one of each for sure, but not instead of one another. With a truck it’s nice to also have a smaller car or SUV to use once in a while.

I wouldn't say they’re reliable, but that’s my experience with the Abarth, modded and driven hard. If anyone thinks Tesla’s materials are cheap, they have never been in a Fiat.

With that said, I have 2 model Ys with out issue. One is a performance and the other is LR 7 seater. Never had any issues and neither have been to the service center.

However, the Cybertruck has been in service 3 times for a myriad of issues from air suspension issues, tail gate issues, seat belts, bed floor fitment issues and panel gaps.

I think this is misleading. It’s going to confuse people who don’t know Tesla that the Cybertruck is a Fiat.

BTW. I was thinking the other day it would be nice to see a car commercial for Tesla. I know they don’t because so many other people do it for them on Social Media. Now even other car companies are doing it for them! Love it.

Mine's a bit of a beater, 2012 first year Abarth. Got it with over 100k already, had some tasteful mods. Check engine light is always on... I stopped caring after a couple attempts, it's evap stuff. I put a clutch in it myself, that was not fun but she's ready to race now. Sold my Cayman S when my CT came in, and honestly I don't miss it because this was always the more fun of the two to drive.

Also have a 17 Spider Abarth that we got new. Haven't had the first problem with it, wife has put 40k on it.

I technically have the entire Abarth North American set!

UMMM ACTUALLY... It's a 93 with the LT1. I personally prefer the look of the early ones, before all the added bulges, scoops, and intakes. The market does not agree with me, lol.

I should’ve zoomed in better. I had a ‘94, ‘97, and ‘99.

For me, this is kinda working? But I kinda want both of them. They'd look neat together, like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito in Twins. Or an Irish Wolfhound and a Pomeranian.

Edit: ok, add steer-by-wire to Fiat 500e and you have a deal.
