Sales are likely to begin sometime in 2013 and the Abarth Roadster is expected to carry a sticker price of &pound;12,000.<br /><br />[Source: <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/News/NewsArticle/AllCars/235408/">Autocar</a>]<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://www.autocar.co.uk/News/NewsArticle.aspx?AR=23540 8>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/10/16/rendered-speculation-abarth-coupe-ala-i-autocar-i/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/forward/1343629/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/10/16/rendered-speculation-abarth-coupe-ala-i-autocar-i/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a>
