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 The 1.5- and 1.8-liter naturally aspirated Mazda engines have been replaced by a 500 Abarth-sourced turbocharged 1.4-liter with 160 HP and 184 lb/ft (241 Nm) that drives the rear wheels via a six-speed manual or auto transmission.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