And she’s pretty hot…..
Fiat 124…
The new Miata looks like an NA Miata. In the Fiat 124 looks more like a NB Miata.

My first car was a 124-Spyder bought for $400. The fact that the new one doesn’t have a back seat makes me sad.
Most reviews call the new Miata one of the best drivers cars ever. I personally prefer the looks of this Fiat – lots of fun at an affordable price.
If only they added forced induction of some kind! Thank goodness for the aftermarket.
Fiat 124 will have a turbo.

This thing is gorgeous. Much better looking than the new Miata, IMO.
Looks better in white or black than in blue, which is a rare thing.
I’m not looking for speed in a small tossable sports car like this, so an Abarth version holds no appeal to me. Keep mine simple, tasteful and fun.
We’ll see how things go, but I could see one of these in my garage in 4-5 years…
