U.S. Spec 500X Sport pics

[ronbo10]

Cars.com is beginning to show some 500X Sport's in inventory across the U.S., but so far just one dealership has taken the trouble to do the photo shoot and put them up on the net. That should improve in the weeks to come, of course. Here's a link for an example, this one in, what is it (?), Italian Blue or something. A nice color, I'd be torn between that and the red. As 500USA has reported, it is clear the ride height will be the same as with the other U.S. bound 500X's, as opposed to the lowered ride height the Euro's (and other markets?) are getting. Oh well, I guess you could always go aftermarket.

Definitely needs to be lowered. I'm leaning toward the gray with the upgraded headlights.

X2 on that. Damn that thing looks tall. I’m working on redrilling strut mounts to make my lowered 2WD lower.

I like the way it looks, but it reminds me of the Jetta. Looking at that car if you want the GLI without the power then the R-line is what you buy. So have a feeling this could be a test bed for perhaps the Abarth (we can only hope). I would be curious to see what a 2.0T Firefly would be like. math So if 1.3 T = 177 hp/210 FTlb then I think 2.0T might be like 268/280?

So has anyone driven the new Sport? people said it has a better sound then the normal 500x. I just wondered it that was true.
