... Is the grey being launched over here then...

I would think so since it is offered in other countries too.

The colour options for the 500 Abarth in Italy and in Germany are:

268 Bianco Gara
891 Nero Scorpione
676 Grigio Campovolo
111 Rosso Officina
270 Bianco Iridato

Personally I like best Bianco Iridato or Grigio Campovolo both with red Abarth stripes. It seems like most cars on sale in Germany at the moment are white (the regular one). The pearl white is a 1000 euro option so that makes it rarer. The grey one is 350 euros in Germany.

I would have like a baby/light blue colour option but unfortunately that is not available.

Our Cinq sporting was black, our Mk1 PuntoGT was orange. I have to say I'm sorely tempted by the black 500 just to be different. I'd seen the pearl white at Goodwood and loved it but if the first 200 are all white, then I'd rather be a little different if I'm speccing my own car

That's really cool in green too. We had the roof spoiler as well.

I cant believe I'm saying it, but the grey with the red stripes is really growing on me. I just think that its something you cant get on any other car and it will make it stand out from the crowd.

There is definately something quite attractive about the grey car but I can't quite put my finger on it.........       

I feel almost like a fraud being on here seeing how many Fiats and Abarths everyone has had in the past. I'm sorry to say that in 45 cars of ownership I have never owned either before now (well when the 500A arrives). I nearly got the Barchetta at one point and I always liked the look of the X19 and the first two Punto Sportings but never bought one. As for the colour combo on the 500A I keep changing my mind each time I see a pic of it in a different colour. I love the white with red stripes but then I like the grey (but not as much) then I saw it in Black with the white stripes which looks wicked but I don't like the idea of the all black dash, and now I've just seen the red with the black stripes and think this may now be my current choice - until I see another colour combo that is!!

That's cool Iain.

I think I've pretty much decided ours will be red with white stripes.
