Where's the press release? I'm not seeing anything other than what someone said their dealer told them on another forum?

Since Baltimore is the port of entry you get them first! My salesperson told me that we'd have them in central Texas about three weeks later due to transportation time.

I believe.. if they are coming from Japan.. they will not have the heritage stripe.
I'd guess those won't show up until November .. From Italy to US.. As Fiat said the heritage stripe would be hand painted in Italy.
They are all coming from the Hiroshima plant and then once they hit port they're sent to one location to have the stripe applied here in the US. So I'm assuming if they dont do this whole first batch with the stripe then we'll start seeing those w/o it sooner than the ones with it. I for one no longer want the stripe since I was so indifferent towards it until I found out the price tag attached to it.
Yea it's weird because I remember seeing the Abarth commericals with that model and then seeing all the 500s drive off the cliff and I couldnt get away from seeing them but with the 124 they've been fairly hush about it. I'm so used to Subaru and how they do things like even though it was underwhelming but they teased the BRZ yellow series and then announced it at the Wicked Big Meet.
FWIW:

Surffice it to say we have it on very good authority.
That's good to hear. I need to get my work meisters sold and my brz traded in to carmax so i can have my full downpayment ready as soon as they get in.
Any news on these reaching port Ramzi?
I live in Indiana and I spoke with two dealers. The first said "early february" for any Abarth editions. I went to another dealer two weeks later, and their estimate was maybe "December/January" and said that they can't special order any, nor will they come with the heritage stripe.
