The 500 Abarth will be reviewed on the new series of Top Gear up against the Twingo RS I believe, for anyone who watched the first episode tonight would have cought a glimpse of it the the series preview compilation at the beginning.

Heard it will be on next weeks show, should be interesting!

I also caught a glimpse of it, very excited, will be nice to see it on the tv.

You always need to take TG's 'reviews' with a huge pinch of salt though, they never let the facts get in the way of attempting to make a piece more interesting.

I hope it will be more factually correct than their guff on the GPA in the Dec magazine. 

" The Essesesse kit, which Abarth fits to every car in its Turin factory..."
"The hefty £4k price hike over the standard Abarth gets you a more dramatic body kit, which includes deeper front and rear bumpers, side skirt and a rear spoiler, plus a set of superb 17in alloy wheels......and there are some nice extra bits inside..."

Looks like someone didn't ask Abarth about the esseesse kit contents.

esseesse Abarth with combined 40.9mpg (although that may be Abarths figure) is quite amusing.

I've never credited Top Gear magazine with much journalistic talent, stick with the professionals.

Yup, all of the photos they used are from the Abarth UK press office.

Really looking forward to tonights episode, while I don't care what they say about it it'll be nice to see footage of it that's NOT a YouTube video, as good as they are.

Was a good review, looked pretty steady around the track.
