That whole article is just rubbish and doesn't tell us anything new. "As our exclusive main picture shows" - It's exclusive because you photoshopped it! The Abarth image was a nice try, but they've left it with a white Lounge interior. "Flared wheelarches and 135 - 200bhp" - None of the spy shots of the Abarth have had flared arches and as we've discussed to death, only AE still think there will be a 200bhp road version. And prices from £15,000??? For a 135 bhp car??? They won't sell many of those then. The regular car will "hit UK showrooms in January" - Errr. Feb 8th is the official date.
