From what I'm seeing, that may not be the ultimate option. 

Apparently, the 500 suffers from a fidgety, bouncy ride with the car
being pushed about on uneven road surfaces. The softer suspended
'Lounge' is quite acceptable for this (in its class) but the s****t is
showing up as rather poor.

As a girlie *town* car, the 500 Lounge and panoramic roof will excel
but trying to make it something different will take it into areas it
simply isn't competent in right now. 'S****t' mode with the current
slow engine range, performance and handling doesn't sound like a
particularly good fit.

I'll be waiting for the Abarth for a, hopefully, useful attempt at a
's****t' button.
