The Abarth wants to be a miniature Ferrari with its aggressive, low-stance and bulging fenders and body kit. Under the enlarged hood is a turbocharged version of the standard engine, producing 160 horsepower and routed through a heavy-duty five-speed manual. The Abarth has lowered suspension, stiffer springs, revised steering system, larger brakes and a limited-slip differential. Inside, there are racing-style seats with large bolsters, unique cloth upholstery, a sport steering wheel and aluminum pedals. Options automatic climate control, 17-inch alloy wheels, a power sunroof and the TomTom navigation.

The Lounge is a more sophisticated machine aimed at those who want something more premium than the standard Pop. Fifteen-inch alloy wheels are standard, along with foglights, chrome accents on the bumpers and mirrors and a glass roof and satellite radio. Inside, there is automatic climate control and upgraded cloth seats, but heated leather seats are optional. Also available is the Convenience Package, which adds rear parking sensors, auto-dimming rearview mirror and heated front seats. A power sliding sunroof and the TomTom navigation system, as well as 16-inch polished alloy wheels and automatic transmission, are standalone options.

The 500 Pop hatchback is an inexpensive way to get a stylish car that turns heads and uses little fuel. Just because it's the base model doesn't mean it's lacking in convenience features, though. The Pop comes with the 1.4-liter four cylinder and 101 horsepower with a standard five-speed manual. A six-speed automatic with manual shifting override is optional. Also included are power windows, locks with remote keyless entry, heated mirrors, cruise control, air conditioning, 15-inch wheels and a six-speaker audio with AUX input. Options include alloy wheels, a power sunroof, Bose audio system with subwoofer and satellite radio and a compact spare tire. The Convenience Package adds a leather-wrapped steering wheel with steering wheel audio controls and Fiat's Blue & Me system, which adds Bluetooth and a USB input and interface to control iPod and mobile phone functions.
