Now build a car on the same platform at the same price.  These tall riding vehicles are so yesterday.

Got a first gen 500e. Perfectly reliable, not one visit to the dealer for any issues, the Carfax can confirm this.  Battery is showing almost no depletion after 108K miles.

You are parroting American preconceived notions. Fiat does quite well on the sales and reputation end in Europe, South America and other global locations. If it was as bad as some people parrot, they wouldn’t be around after 125 years.

Venture capitalists of that era wanted long term growth and stability, seeing your examples. Today’s equity bandits are in for a quick payout, end results be damned. But you already knew that.

Exactly that, the reason I gave up.

Oh, he nailed it.  Why are you a corporate bootlicker?

You mean the place filed up with a bunch of racist Nazi fucks, aka trumpers. 

can’t believe this.

Pity who ever controls security for that prohibited airspace didn’t engage in established protocol for eliminating the threat.

Metallic teal, just a little darker than this, depending upon the light.  We painted a Bertone X1/9 that color around 1991/1992. Very unique color. The customer loved it, and it got a lot of attention.

Yep.

It’s too bad an idiot is attached to what firmly needs to be done. 

Yep.  I think he just showed his hand as a single issue voter:  My money is the only thing that matters.  I wonder how he votes. 

It should survive a very long time in the dry California atmosphere. This car, and others like it in class from that era, had very little rust proofing. It’s just a simple business decision to deliver a product at a certain price point. Nothing more, and certainly not a knock on the design or engineering.  Anywhere…

Or helium filled balloons….

A million times this.  Time to stop the nonsense. 

 For the US, the Lancia Scorpion (known as the Monte Carlo in Europe). Over nine or so years, about a thousand (?) made it to North America. It evolved into the Lancia Rally 037, which took the WRC 1983 title.

Grew up in the 80s.  Even had a friend with an 84.  It didn’t survive the Las Vegas heat very well.  

Any overcompensation vehicle that is large and lifted.

4.44 miles per kW. Efficiency through good aerodynamics and efficient electrics.
