I quite like that I assume it is CF effect coming out weird in the pictures and not some odd stone effect, liking the red under lighting and the sport button migrating to a swtich, not that anyone will use it more than once  ;D

The ambient lighting (red bit on the passenger side) is a nice touch and works well on the Fiat variant. :thumb:
It may be my eyes playing tricks on me but it looks like there is a lever in the centre console next to the USB port. That could well mean they have moved the sport control and made it more like the Mito DNA switch.

Indeed, described in the opening blurb:-

Quote
The sporty new Abarth Punto Evo also features a new performance mode selection system that modulates engine, braking and steering action to offer a choice of two different driving styles - Sport and Normal – to suit road conditions and driver preference.

The mode selector is conveniently located on the central tunnel in front of the gear lever and lets you switch between the two modes quickly and easily, simply by moving a lever. The currently selected mode is displayed on the dashboard. If you are looking for a safe, relaxing drive, all you have to do is select Normal mode, while if you feel the need to enjoy the full performance of your Abarth Punto Evo, flip the switch to Sport position and thrill to the power! Sport mode makes the car more responsive, using electrical servo systems to modify handling and deliver the ultimate sporting feel. Due attention has also been paid to safety of course, so Sport mode also engages the TTC system automatically.

Obviously press releases need to be taken with a pinch of salt (we've been bitten by them before :thumbd:) but with sport on it engages TTC automatically :o
I really am starting to get a little excited to get my hands on one of these :thumb:

The Mito's Q2 (same thing different name) comes on in D mode automatically so looks like they are just porting the systems over, I saw a red Evo yesterday and thought it looked good, think its finally grown on me.
