It is not an Abarth and it is not called that on the website.
It's a 500Cabrio with an Abarth engine and transmission and GQ badges. Very odd. I would rather get a decent suspension and get the real Abarth Cabrio.

It is way to docile to call it an Abarth. I drove one last week and all I will say is that I Love my Abarth! Barely any exhaust note at all on the GQ.
They have that, its called a 500Turbo.. jeez.. sorry sorry.. *rubs temples* I need a break... Abarth guys give me headaches

Eh? That was kind of rude. I didn't read that the GQ used the Sport suspension when I posted. I did a search for the GQ edition on Fiat's website and didn't realize it was listed under the 500C category. I assumed that since it used the Abarth variant of the motor it had upgraded suspension. An incorrect assumption. Personally I wouldn't want a plain badged Abarth - it was just a comment.

I don't think he meant that literally, but (hopefully) just a slightly misplaced attempt at humor. Evogelion was joking with Tweak in a similar way last night. Look carefully at Evo's new avatar.

You guys are correct, it's not a 6 speed. I grabbed the first pictures of it I found on my computer without paying attention.
The GQ does have sport suspension but is only a 5 speed same as the Abarth. Now I've not taken either one to Auto X but I will say I just drove both this morning and notice minimal difference driving around the city. Our GQ sounds a little quieter than the Abarth, but not much. It still has that rumble when you start it from the dual exhaust.
With 25 less HP than an Abarth
Nice but i prefer my Abarth.....
When i will be old i want to be Enzo
What more need be said. Totally agree.
