It's like a cross between an S2000 with styling cues from the original Fiat 124 Spyder. I like it lots !!

The entire Pit Crew styling is based on 60's/70's Italian car designs. Purely opinion but I think the latest Fiat keeps a lot of the original
styling cues. Check out the '68 original Spyder - a true classic:

yep
"The biggest difference between the two is hidden under the bonnet. The 1.5- and 1.8-liter naturally aspirated Mazda engines have been replaced by a 500 Abarth-sourced turbocharged 1.4-liter with 160 HP and 184 lb/ft (241 Nm) that drives the rear wheels via a six-speed manual or auto transmission. "

IMHO the Fiat might have the edge in the looks dept too ....

Altho... it also has a look of (the Fiat owned) Chrysler about it :
