At the FFO 2011 it was there in many colours. I will post a few pictures latter.
The sides of the car with doors are still the same but the Power rag top retracts in 3 different locations. Partialy open above the driver and passanger, half way over the back seat and fully open. Since the car has a soft top there is a small trunk or Boot lid in the back. I have a buddy picking one up this week in Indianapolis Indiana USA. $26,500 USD. With leather pearl white and NAV.
On the home front I changed the oil in my son's car. Certainly more thought could have gone into this by Fiat. A large skid pan must be removed with 6 bolts to access the drain bolt that now has a cross memeber that allows the oil to splash in many directions. The cartrige filter requires that the multi Air air box be removed and a 1 1/16" socket with a universal joint with a 10" extension must be used to unscrew the cartrige filter cover. The filter must now be squeezed between the Air Conditioining hoses, frame and engine. In a few words, oil everywhere.
In fairness this is my first attempt, but when the warenttee is run out a remote spin on filter would be my first consideration. I have no idea why the change to old style cartridge filters is the way of the future as either case I burn them in my brick lined stove in the winter. The cost is certainly more than a spin on filter that could at least be facing with the hole up instead of down. Talking to other owners in the USA The Dealers are driving 2 hours to pick the car up and leave a loaner car, change the oil and return again.
