I know its based on the Mazda, does this mean Mazda are building it for Fiat too or will they do it in their own factories?

As part of the joint venture agreement with Mazda, both the Fiat 124 Spider and the Mazda MX-5 are to be made at Mazda’s factory in Hiroshima, Japan.

thats why it couldn't be an alfa...

Yeah, Sergio the boss said all Alfa's in the future must be built in italy!

The good news is, the Fiat should prove more reliable than some of the others they've produced lately.

That's because its not really a Fiat.

Some people might even be willing to put up with potential issues seeing how it's a cheap italian roadster that we haven't had before.

your logic is flawed, its neither cheap nor italian

 

[spilner]

The brand has italian roots and it's cheap as in under $30k cheap.

 

[Jack]

I'd say its cheap, though I wouldn't say its Italian. It's more Japanese in my opinion.

Barely sub $30K if my rationale proves to be correct. IMO its going to bump into substantial competition. Everyone knows americans buy on how dollar value. FIAT 124 vs Mustang GT/Camaro SS doesn't look like a winning value contest for the FIAT...
