The 2014 Fiat spider Concept car

Fiat 500 Spider Concept car that is.

Just not for me.

me neither, looks like a Miata.

I think it looks OK. the real question becomes what is under the hood. If it has say 220 - 280 HP it will be a screamer at that light weight.

pretty obvious it's based on the 500

I saw that earlier this year, I don't know why they would make it look like a 500??
There are heaps of 500 variants including a convertible.

I think they should either an 850 retro if sizing is the same or our beloved 124 spider....making the MX5 (miata) look like a 500 is kind of pointless unless of course (and as mentioned) there is a big difference under the bonnet/hood

Turn the powertrain of the 500 around, put the Barchetta body on it, and you have a good-looking, mid-engine roadster. This is not rocket science.

It's rumored that one of these will appear in the new James Bond movie, alone with a limited addition DB10 Aston Martin.

I feel like the Barchetta looks like a Miata.The Miata underpinnings,Abarth motor,and a fresh design from Fiat would be a winner.The rumour is we will see a new Spider that next year.I am afraid with the expense in mfg. a fresh new design ,we will end up with a re-badged Miata As long as it doesn't look like a 500....... I really don't like the one at the top of this thread!

This rendition looks promising. But, it does not look like any design cues were carried forward from the classic 124/2000 Spider. I see a lot of "Mazda" in that skin.

Personally, I'm a bit more partial to this one:


The accompanying article does not make much sense as it describes the Spider as a sedan "With 4 four comfortable seats, 2015 Spider can load the passengers up to 5 people." and the picture obviously is NOT a sedan. Again, no design cues are carried forward from the classic 124/2000 Spider.

I would NEVER buy the white one - and I mean NEVER! I hate it more than I could ever express in words. In the second article it says there are rumors it would sell for $14-$16K. I don't know where they heard that rumor, but a base Miata costs around $22K-$23K. There's no way that it would a sales price that low.

Obviously I'm no longer in the target market for their products.
