Cool cars from the Los Angeles Auto Show

Environmentally friendly cars are usually the big thing in California, but some performance models were unveiled this year, too.

Fiat 500 Abarth Cabriolet

With 160 horsepower and a zero-to-60 time of 7.7 seconds, the Fiat 500 Abarth might not seem fast on paper. But on the road, when you're sitting inside that tiny little car with its snarling exhaust rumble and the pavement screaming toward you just in front of your nose, it seems very, very fast.

The Cabrio adds an additional entertainment feature with a top that peels back, exposing you to even more of the world rushing past outside.
