    I do. And I like the Fiat 500. But the VW bug was everywhere and still is. It's played out and no longer fresh.

    Kinda funny the rims/tires and brake kit are actually worth more than the car in a buyer's market.

    unless they give it significant horsepower, it will never be a car men will be the primary user.

    They need to make it super cheap for the HP. AWD maybe. Make it an enthusiasts car.

    Until it's no-longer a butt-dragger, it won't matter what it looks like - No interest, whatsoever. Nada.

    Move the drive wheels, step 1.
    Step 2: See step 1.

    I can't believe they haven't done an R32-based AWD version.
