You traded in WHAT for that??

[dfwcyclist]

So I've been dreaming of an Abarth years before they arrived stateside (even joined the forum last year). Finally pulled the trigger earlier this month and traded in my Infiniti QX56 for the new little beast (Grigio Abarth 500c). The trip home from the dealer was a long "what did I just do" moment. Plenty of others think I am nuts as well, but every time I turn the key, she confirms I made the right decision.

My once mundane daily drives are now all smiles. Trips to the gas station are all smiles as well...

Congrats and welcome to the forum!

Reminds me of my Abarth about a year ago (before modifications and less the dark tint).

That's a big change. Congrats

My last DD was perhaps equally strange; a Prius C. I think in some ways we're all recovering car crazies here!

Traded my 400+hp Crossfire SRT6 for my Abarth. Even I thought I'd gone a bit nuts when I woke up the next day. But much like you, The more I drove her, The more I knew it was the right move!

Hey there, welcome and a big congrats on your new Abarth! Thanks for the pic!

You'll have smiles for miles.

All those auto manufacturers that got out of the small sports car market will just be left in the dust.

There really isn't anything on the market like the Abarth. Enjoy!

Welcome!! You made an excellent choice! I came from an Infiniti G35 prior to the Abarth and haven't missed it since cranking the angry flea up for the first time.

I traded my Acura TSX for my Lounge. My gf at the time almost had a stroke.

Welcome to the Abarth family!

I traded in an 04 Mustang GT convertible, and love the Abarth.

Congrats on finally taking the plunge! Its not something you'll regret, I know I haven't. Proper color choice by the way

I'm having more fun driving my Abarth than just about any car I have ever owned.
This is what it replaced.DSCN0620.jpg

I'm looking at all the cars that were traded or replaced by the Abarth and giggling at the thought of someone at Fiat proposing to create "a car that will replace all those cars".

No one would have believed it. Not in their wildest dreams would they have thought of an Abarth replacing hybrids AND off-roaders AND luxury sedans AND luxury sports cars.

I swear, it's the fun factor.
