The 2013 Fiat 500 Abarth Convertible, or as Fiat calls is the Cabriolet, is a sexy fun and semi-topless little Italian car that will put a huge smile on your face.

Reality check: most of us ‘Mericans can’t afford über cool vehicles. The cheapest cars sold here tend to be boring and uninspiring. Simply put, most cheap cars suck when it comes to fun. There are a few vehicles with a base price under $17,000 that don’t suck. You might be surprised to find a few vehicles out [...]
The new 2013 Honda Crosstour with the V6 is a AWD crossover that directly competes with cars like the Toyota Venza.

I drove the Fiat 500 hatchback when it debuted and was generally impressed. The hot rod Abarth version arrived later and was even more fun. But I didn’t get a 500C “Pop” Cabrio model with its quasi-convertible sliding power soft top until late summer. While small, the front-drive, two-door 500 is practical enough, although the [...]

Those cars are valued at $135,000—if you can [...]
