manufacturers (just in case you&#8217;re wanting one of these) and what\u2019s on the near horizon?\u00a0 Let\u2019s take a look.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium

that produces exciting and affordable Italian cars. \u00a0These guys could get you into a brand new 124 Spider &#8211; a really fun and exciting roadster.\u00a0 The Abarth 124 Spider is Italian\u2019s version of a Mazda MX-5.\u00a0 Amazing road holding, lovely lines and a small Turbo engine means that this little open-top sports car can fly, and fly efficiently.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7509\"

1.4-litre Turbo T-Jet engine with a peak power of 103 kW and a maximum torque of 206 Nm.\u00a0 With a top speed of 204 km\/h and an acceleration of 7.9 seconds to reach 100 km\/h from a standstill are sensational for such a cute little sports car.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7510\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\"

cars is the cleverly packaged Fiat 500X.\u00a0 The raised ride height and bigger curves of the new 500X make the standard 500 somewhat dwarfed.\u00a0 AWD traction, Multijet Turbo performance and modern, unique interiors enable you to travel in style and tackle some of the less travelled back roads or city curbs.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7511\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption
