(And if anything, I'm predjudiced the other way, as I've owned 3 Fiat 124's and two Alfa GTV6s in years past, but the 500 is not a chassis of interest to my performance side.

+1...just drove a Fiat 500...borrowed a rental from someone while my car was in the shop. the 1.4 liter engine is not safe with all of the speeders here in Chicago. BTW...there is no chance J-Lo's ASS fits in those seats
