Can't wait for some bell end to come up with a Tributo Lamborghini, with an optional Fabergé egg.
As per my comment on the Maserati joke version;

If Fiat spot this car I fear we are in for a 'Superleggera-Tributo' & as we all know, removing things & gluing Italian words all over it means even more money.... Ch-ching- £35k please laugh

I would rather have this over an Aston Cygnet but i would not buy either. This is much better value and probably more fun if your in the market for a 500 Abarth.

I have heard it said that Fiat had to pay Ferrari 5k for the use of the name which is why its so expensive..

So Fiat - who own Ferrari - have to pay to use the name that they effectively own? Possible, but seems unlikely.

At least with the Tributo, Abarth actually went to the trouble of jazzing it up a bit.

Unlike Fiat's "Ferrari Dealer Edition", which really was just a 1.4 with some stickers on it and still goes for stupid money.
