A friend has just bought their daughter a Fiat Barchetta. I had a little run in one years back and they are the epitome of an Italian car.

Small and light
Underpowered
Highly agile as FWD
Expecting to be driven with one pedal flat on the carpet
Cool as anything dark glasses and a Gitanes poking (unlit of course) out of the corner of the mouth.

As for the Jag (sorry for the thread drift) I expect it will sell in droves. All 2WD 2L Diesels, mostly white and silver. How cynical I have become. I would expect that shape to be highly colour and wheel size sensitive.

They have got the styling sorted as it look more balanced than the F-Pace which looks too long for its width as a _sports_ utility lump.


Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.
