New for 2015 is an automatic Abarth for people who want the excitement of driving but do not (or do not want to) drive a stick shift. One thing that is worth noting is that the automatic has six speeds while the manual remains with five. I still think it needs an extra gear for the highway but apparently space is an issue.

I think it is best explained by Allison Singer who is part of the design team.

This might be the perfect car for my 82 year old mother (LOL)…
