oh there are fiat forums I want to restore a 124 spyder after I get the bug and camper done. I test drove one once and everyone thought it was a ferrari becuse of the little f down on the fender, but I couldn't afford it then.

FIAT - Failure in Italian Automotive Technology. Sorry, I couldn't resist. Actually I like that model too but you do tend to see more of them in driveways than on the road. My uncle had one when I was young - not a 124. Not sure what it was. I recall pop-up headlights. I thought it was the coolest thing. We used to lay on the hood (probably talking about cars.) Never did see the thing move. Well, not on its own anyway.

Isn't Ferrari owned by FIAT?

One of my first cars was a Fiat 850 sedan. The tin they use seems to attrack rust like steel shavings to a magnet, the wiring is made of crap, the whole electrical system is prone to just up and fry for no apparent reason, they love to overheat AND catch on fire, it you let it sit for any more than 2 days you'll need to check AND bleed the brake system before driving it again, ... I could go on and tell you how I REALLY feel about it but I'm kinda shy! Embarassed

Other than just that, they are a lot of fun to drive, specially when you "upgrade" to a 600D with the suicide doors and drive it on the sidewalk! Shocked

FIAT -Fuck It All Together. My first car was an '81 spyder..what a fun car, until it self destructed!

I'm about to replace my wifes 99 beetle with an element -we're sick of seeing the damn check engine/abs lights constantly on. i like the idea of an interior you can clean with a garden hose, and i'm sure they are reliable.

Robert Cumberford from Automobile mag. is my idol, as far as styling opinions go. You should see his 'design analysis' of the Aztec...it's freaking hilarious! If i can find it, i'll post it.

I'm busted Embarassed

! I guess E.B. didn't like an Aztek in the VW rare parts pic gallery! Yes, i know, it was stupid of me to do that. Not that it makes it, but i think i was going on my 12th beer that night. Anyways, i started a thread in the 'site' forum asking if there was a place to upload non-vw images to post on the forums.

Along the lines of the Avalanche, did Cadillac really need to make a pick-up? Who driving a Cadillac is hauling anything? "The new Cadillac EXT. Room enough for 24 golf bags!" Wouldn't be surprised if the bed is carpeted.

Maybe it's for people, buying $40,000 Splitties off the Samba, to get them home.

yes it is....
I didn't know the Pontiac Aztek... but after all your comments I went directly for pictures...
you are right... the ugliest...
and thanks for saying all french autos are ugly, but I have a Peugeot 206... quite normal for a young in Europe...

But I could enter one new car on the list... did you ever see a Renault Twingo? Really ugly... Confused

All over the morning I was thinking about... VW (not very original, is it?). I thought at the affirmation : 'and all the french cars'... Mad

I was right with the twingo, wasn't I? but I don't agree due to the Citroën 2CV (deux chevaux= 2 horses)... I like it!

I swear Honda has to have some sort of deal with little tykes or something because the Element is half plastic!! The whole fenders are plastic. Evil or Very Mad

Does anybody remember the Toyota Tercel 4wd stationwagen?

I would rather drive an ass-ugly car than a bland econobox any day. If I were buying a new car the Element and Scion are the top two on my list, partialy because they are UGLY.

Are there any gook looking new cars under $40K? I can't think of any.
