Much more content of the 124
Much more content of the 124 Spider is original (Italian) than the author is admitting. He didn't mention that the 2 cars do not share any body panels, brakes, suspension, is longer, has a bigger trunk, more sound deadening, a more substantial roof, a different exhaust. In my opinion, the Fiat just looks better than the Miata. The performance is similar and quite adequate. While I've always been glad the Miata existed, I've never wanted one. I want the Fiat 124 (Abarth) Spider.
