What I foresee is a fine roadster with a potentially temperamental Abarth engine. Time will tell if that powerplant will be the car's big "BUT". It puzzles me why didn't they make the original Miata engine a standard and have Abarth be an option.
Well the Abarth engine is American. Mulit air turbo from the guys at Mopar. They're putting it in Jeeps and other things. Haven't heard of any motor issues yet.

I love my Abarth btw.
