Do it. You won't regret it.

I only had one problem and that is with the offset of the steering wheel to the driver seat.

Show her the commercials with that hot Italian chick.

Oh wait... that might not work.

Actually, she likes that commercial as she speaks Italian so she lets me watch it whenever I want.

I am really curious about those. I want to drive one bad. Only problem is the American in me can't get past its size.

Huh maybe I'll test drive one if we get them down here, we get the regular 500s. Can't afford one but they don't need to know that

I sat in one over the weekend. Take $7,500 off the price and I loved it.

I don't see the point. I'd rather just pay the little extra and get the Abarth.

Yeah it's on my short list for a max mileage daily driver, the 500, a Prius, or a VW diesel. Unfortunatly the 500 gets significantly worse mileage than the other two but is obviously infinitely more fun...

I think the thought here is that the only real difference between the two is some styling and the abarth has a better tune. Not worth the additional 2K.

She's hot, but she isn't Italian.

Catrinel Menghia is Romanian.

That said, I'd let her in my Italian car.

Just do it. I love my base model, so I'm sure the T is even better.

Its a little more than a better tune (Tune, exhaust, suspension and interior are different) and actually depending on how you option the 500T it can cost more than an Abarth.

Still a nice car but some dealers are willing to move off MSRP on the Abarths now so I wouldn't automatically go for the T until I took my shot at the abarth. I do want a set of the blackout head and tail lights from the T though.
