One of the key debuts at the ongoing Frankfurt Motor Show is the Fiat Freemont Black Code – a high end trimline of the European issue Dodge Journey and from we can in these company photos, this dressed up and rebadged Journey looks great in its new trim.

Fiat’s high performance Abarth division is preparing to celebrate its 50th anniversary and to do so, the Italian automaker will offer up a special higher performance edition of the Abarth 595 that is improved over the standard 595 in every way – but like the Abarth 595 American buyers shouldn’t expect to be seeing these at their local Fiat dealership.
