      New 1.3 liter turbo produces 177 hp and best-in-class torque of 210 lb-ft.

    Fiat released details this morning of the 2019 Fiat 500x due to be shown at the 2018 Los Angeles Auto Show this week.  The primary upgrade is an all-new 1.3 liter turbo-charged 4-cylinder which produces 178 horsepower and a class-leading 210 lb-ft of torque.   This new standard engine comes with engine stop-start (ESS) and Fiat's MultiAir III valve action. All-Wheel drive now comes standard.

    Additional upgrades on the 2019 Fiat 500X include:

    • New front and rear fascia
    • LED Daytime running lights
    • Three new wheel options and three new exterior paint colors (Italia Blue, Vibrante Green, and Milano Ivory)
    • Adaptive cruise control and front park assist available
    • Uconnect 4 with 7-inch touchscreen that includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

    210 lb-ft from a 1.3 liter ?!?

    Give it less than a 100,000 mile life before having to be replaced. 

    I doubt this will give any more life to the Fiat crackerjack box car. This just is not what the bulk of America wants in an auto.

    • Walked out to check the mail and noticed the neighbors down the street have a full driveway…judging by the red balloon, either a kid’s party or an ‘IT’ watch party or both.  What made me laugh is it’s all white, silver, gray or black CUVs.  The predictable American suburban consumers…
    • Well... You do like to preserve traditional customs and values. (conservatism..) I read enough of your posts over the years to know that you cherish your Italian background. And traditional roles of peoples. The history of your parents and their trials and tribulations in coming to America is also important to you.  You cherish that fondly.  You also like the Californian beach coast I assume. Texas has nice water fronts as well...   Texas I assume...like WTF do I know about the US. Im just a Canadian after all...but Texas has very strong traditional values, family values, beautiful scenery...   Maybe Texas is boring in some parts of it, but other parts its quite breathtaking.     You are also a foodie. Texas has very strong food culture. Especially now in the modern take as Houston I believe is a world renown culinary hub.  Or is it Dallas. Or both? Probably both.   Texas BBQs,  traditional Mexican cuisine as well...   Its less of a WTF if you actually think about it and analyse why Texas. I on the other hand... Well...you folk know how I feels about the USofA as of lately... I gotta go, Im getting ready for the 10cm of snow that is headed Montreal's way tomorrow. Gotta get the house and cars prepped up for it. See ya guys later.    
    • Heh heh..I've done a couple of those quizzes... got New York one time, Massachusetts another time...both would be fine for me. 
    • I took one of those stupid online quizzes to see which was the state that was most suited to me.  I answered a lot of the questions with a good cup of tea, comfort food, a relaxed vibe, road trips, and nothing too gregarious.  I was expecting New England, Washington, or Minnesota. The results page said: YOU ARE TEXAS! WTF?
    • Ugly, big ugly All the signs of an imminent financial crash in America ICE and Home Land Security are two departments that now need to be closed due to incompetent leadership and clearly racist and illegal actions. Prosecute all who have broken the law and close these departments. Time to fold both of these duties into the FBI or one of the other agencies. ICE and CBP's aggressive tactics may have finally gone too far
