Sorry, not everything Italian is pretty. This looks like some AMC designers broke into the Pininfarina studio at night and fiddled with the drawings.

Maybe it's the white top and hood, but it looks like a fresh take on the Mini, freed from the obligatory homage to something older. Looks promising to me.

I'd first want to see what a real 400i goes for.

I wasn't a Scout, but my son was. I have zero woodworking skills, so year after year, we fielded cars that looked like they had been attacked by beavers.

This is brilliant, like a Jalop triple dog dare. He'll sell it, no problem. Probably have a bidding war.

Ah, memories of my mother's one venture on the bumper cars at Asbury Park. She even got smiles out of the seen-it-all ride operators. But this is the same lady who got herself and my dad kicked out of a bowling alley for sending balls down the adjoining lane.

@Ash78, cube farmer: I don't know whether to slap you for that or heart click you.

#15 looks like the bottom of our hill in every snowstorm. Private (as in not plowed by the town) road, wicked grade, bad news without some kind of AWD.

Imagine the fun to be had at stoplights.

Couldn't they just use one of those 3D baseball cards they used to put in cereal boxes?

I'm thinking a late '60s/early '70s A-body of some kind.

Looking at this, and Sharon Stone's LTD yesterday, I have to ask: Why don't they paint engines in bright, primary colors any more?

Random observations:

@skaycog: Isn't there a song about this? 'Reindeer Got Run Over by Grandpa' or something like that?
