I won't try to dissuade you. I feel that way about early 70's Novas and the last gen Monte Carlos, but at least the Smart is a well thought out and designed city car, horrible transmission aside. It wasn't designed for American conditions though, so most Americans don't get them. If you lived in a 900 year old city in…

Is she single?

So that's where Sarah Palin got the inspiration for the Gravina Island Bridge to nowhere in Alaska! I wonder if you can see Russia form that one too.

Not so much speed as altitude

Brilliant and well done

So horribly designed by 4 different people working on different parts of the car in different rooms who weren't aware of each other. Also they were drunk and recovering from a lobotomy. Nothing goes together, wheels are inset 6" from the fenders and too small, craptastic typical old GM interior, floppy chassis and…

I love Smarts. Plus they're hard to kill. That Tridium safety cell is a really tough nut to crack

This post seems to be over run by 14 year olds who get their car info from an old version of Need For Speed. Firstly, sports car and super car are two different things. Secondly, comparing performance and horse power figures to modern cars is infantile and pointless

You fail at being informed. Didn't handle well? That was what it was known for! I think you're on the wrong site.

Yeah, that 3 mph makes all the difference

Context people, context. 0-60 in under 8 seconds was considered quick in '77, much like at one time a 26" TV was big. Also, a Corvette was never meant to be a supercar. It was an affordable daily driver sports car.

The Testarossa was made between '84 and '91 and hit 60 in the low 5 second range. An '84 Camry did it in 12.4 seconds. See, context helps, unless you like making idiotic comparisons.A 28 year old Testarossa is still quicker than any Camry made today. Also, a 'Rossa will always be an iconic design, love it or hate it,…

I understand, and I get why this might not be everyone's cup of tea. It is weird, and unconventional. But as a transportation design major in school I drooled over the 70's Bertone designs, especially the concepts, so I'm definitely biased

I've known all before there was anything, true story...

You know nothing about design. Minimalism takes effort and time.

You should do some research. True, Alfas have been based on many FWD Fiat Group platforms, since the late 80s but they significantly redesign suspension components, geometry, and often have Alfa specific rear suspensions. Many models have been available with very sophisticated and acclaimed AWD systems, much like Audi…

How do you break a constant?

No, it's a horrible idea. Both makes have their own street cred and come form completely opposite spectrums. Although I love Zagatos, this desecrates both brands

I want to make sweet love to them both. Also, it's amazing to see how reasonably sized the original Camaro was as opposed to the 1 1/4 scale bloated caricature we have today.

Different...I dig it
