Is The All-New Fiat 500 A BADASS Now That The ABARTH Is On Its Way?

If you were to show the Fiat 500 to a focus group, it's likely that if you were to ask...

"What do you think of the all-new Fiat 500's styling?"

...a good portion of folks would reply "It's cute."

It's hard to disagree as it has tiny proportions and boasts its chic, Italian design. It's more of an accessory than a vehicle.

Now that's about to change as we see that the Abarth is on its way to the States. The Abarth is meant to be more of a performer rather than an accessory, that's for sure.

Just ask the driver down below that's chasing a last generation, modified Subaru WRX STI around the track. Considering the Abarth is down on power compared to the STI, it certainly holds its own in the corners.

With that said, would YOU consider it a badass car now that the Abarth is on its way?

While driving at Franciacorta racetrack i played with a modified Subaru Impreza WRX Sti. I was also very surprised to keep up with such a fast car with my modified Abarth. So, both cars have more hp than the stock version but here you can clearly see the difference between the drivers. Unfortunately my GoPro HD stopped to record the action for no reason!
