RE: Abarth Punto Evo Scorpione | Spotted

[Xenoous]

Christ no. It looks nice enough, has enough power to make it fun, if not fast, but is a 9 year old Fiat.

I'm sure it'll sell. Some collecter somewhere will buy it.

I was lucky enough to be working for Fiat in South Africa when the first Scorpione arrived in Cape Town, very fun to drive but at that price point, it took a while to sell off the floor.

Weren't the AR MiTo's based on the Punto Abarth? I had the 1.6JTDM 120 with 236lb/ft which was fairly good fun but very twitchy and a bit unsettled on the motorway.

They're all based on the SCCS platform, developed jointly by GM and Fiat.
The actual list of cars based on this platform is long (maybe not impressive):
Fiat Grande Punto/Punto Evo, 500X, 500L, Tipo, Qubo and Doblo
Alfa Romeo MiTo
Opel/Vauxhall Corsa, Adam and Combo
Citroen Nemo
Peugeot Bipper
Jeep Renegade
Jeep Compass
