It's easily the best car in Fiat's four-vehicle U.S. lineup and a worthy successor to the storied original Fiat 124 Spider that debuted in November 1966.

The two-seat convertible coupe -- powered by a turbocharged inline-four -- shares a platform with Mazda's MX-5 Miata, and the cars are built in the same plant. But the 124 Spider has a Fiat engine and transmission that together pro...
