Fiat 124 vs Mazda MX-5 – What’s the difference?

Since the first images hit the web, the 2016 Fiat 124 Spider hasn’t fared all that well in the court of public opinion.

Despite resurrecting a much-loved nameplate and bringing back the prospect of a relatively cheap Italian roadster, Fiat has copped flak from an endless stream of keyboard warriors about the new 124’s Japanese heritage and styling.

And while comments like “it’s not a real Italian car” have some degree of merit - the 124 will be built on the same line as the Mazda MX-5 in Hiroshima, Japan - there’s no doubt that Fiat has poured a liberal amount of Italian dressing on its half-breed droptop.
