I looked at the fiat 124 when it came out and the Abarth version. I thought they were quite different from the mx5. I think they had quite different engines for a start. Hasn't the fiat got a turbo?
Yes, I went on a factory tour in Hiroshima in 2018. The cars are made in a jumble, so different models are made one after the other and the workers form a team that assembles many steps at a time, so no mindless assembly line work. In between, I also saw various Fiat 124s, which were fitted with Italian turbo engines. Even though I like the styling of the 124, I would always prefer a Mazda MX5 naturally aspirated to these Fiat engines. They are worlds apart in reliability and innovation.
