菲亚特500 阿巴斯
菲亚特（Fiat）500 阿巴斯（Abarth）用160马力的涡轮增压发动机取代了原本只有101马力的发动机，从而让动力有了质的飞越。它可不是绣花枕头。换了更大的格栅、安装了几个扰流板之后，这款小车的外观立刻显得硬朗起来。它的悬挂、刹车和转向系统也经过了升级，价格也相应地涨到23,000美元。由于经销商不足，加上它怪里怪气的广告没有起到预期效果，因此菲亚特的返美之路并不顺利。不过等到明年圣诞节，也许又会是另一番光景。

Fiat 500 Abarth
The 500 minicar gets a lift when its tiny 101-hp engine is replaced with the turbocharged Abarth version that pumps it up to 160 hp. And ake no mistake -- this car is no cutie-pie. The exterior has been butched up with a bigger grille and a couple of spoilers. The suspension, brakes, and steering have also been upgraded, as has the price: $23,000. Fiat's return to the U.S has been slowed by a lack of dealers and a bizarre advertising campaign, but there may be a better Christmas story by December 25, 2012. |
