Abarth version will debut simultaneously with the Fiat 500 at the Geneva Motor Show.

Compare with the original Fiat Abarth 500 after the jump!

Tuner Austrian-born Carlo Abarth became famous for Italian motor racing, producing several variants of the tiny Fiat 500. New sketch artist who brought Fiat 695 Abarth model number, just like the Abarth's top-of-the-line pocket rocket in the early '60s. In race-ready 695SS version, the 500 air-cooled two-cylinder engine bored to 689cc and is equipped with a Weber carb, high-capacity aluminum oil that (no doubt to help cool the engine!), And "stinger" exhaust.

Abarth Grande Punto

We've all heard the Fiat and Alfa Romeo empty statments for years sworn they would return to North America. The question faced is if they are truly committed to re-enter North America, can they succeed? How well this time will be Fiat, Alfa Romeo and Abarth product portfolio fits with the current U.S. and Canadian markets? What will be the best dealerships that sell infrastructure platform Fiat (and / or Alfa Romeo / Abarth / Iveco / Ferrari / Maserati, etc.) products? Can the general public perception can not be relied upon to overcome? North America is entering in the near future given the choice of an intelligent American current economic contraction? Or whether the fuel is only about Fiat assistance in obtaining sales for small cars and diesel engines? Would you consider a Fiat product? Other thoughts about the Fiat and its subsidiaries back into North America?

MINI demand currently unprecedented (as discussed in this thread) substantiates that there is a big enough market for the premium, stylish, compact, fuel-efficient cars. Given the success of MINI and concerns fuel today, I predict and Alfa Romeo Mito 500 Abarth will 500/Fiat hits sales.

Acura RL

Acura RL

Acura's RL luxury sedan is underrated already hobbled by the perception that it was underpowered and useless in the styling department. While the competition offers a different look and an optional V-8, which stuck RL V-6 and a weak attitude. Acura hopes to change that with a slightly revised in 2009, but did not seem like too much has been done.

Outside, the RL has a new grille with a little "shield" that looks like one of the decorated MDX crossover, along with slightly modified lights. Display clearly more daring, but we're not sure it's more cohesive than the old design. Inside, the company said that it upgraded, but the new shifter in addition to all look the same to us. Optional navigation system, however, will now come with live weather updates; the RL is also one of the first car that offers live traffic updates.

The biggest change comes to the machine, which can grow to 3.7-liter V-6 pushing out 300 more horsepower, up from 290-hp 3.5-liter. Acura has also upgraded the suspension and steering and added bigger 18-inch wheels and "aggressive" as the standard tire. All-wheel drive remains standard and, yes, the Acura is still called Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive.

Expect prices to remain close to the current $ 46,280 - $ 53,700 range when the RL sales occurred within a few months.
