My favorite car from the New York Auto Show is an underestimated Italian convertible

They're calling it the "Fiata" — a slight at its Mazda Miata underpinnings. But it might be so much more.
The little Fiat 124 Spider and the sportier Abarth versionwere hidden away in a corner of the New York Auto Show past a replica of the car from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and a selection from Toyota's soon-to-be-defunct Scion brand.
But the car stole my heart for a few reasons.
It looks better than the Miata; a beloved car that has typified the itty-bitty roadster genre since, well, forever. And it comes with heritage, something I am indeed a sucker for.
