Default What (REAL) Italians drive (56k don't)

Well finally got to upload them. Obviously I didn't take pictures of the cars that basically are found here in the states (benz, beamers, etc etc...).

This is what most Italians drive :D ENJOY!


Peugeot (Lancia next to it. This was the first car we rented but it had all sorts of warning popping out of the computer-like dash board so we left it):




Peugeot (my cousins, this thing is small! No trunk. 4 seater though. The light colored car in the background to the left is an Alfa Romeo)





-with Opel Astra in front of it -


NEW Fiat Punto with Fiat Brava in front of it (our second rented car, not as comfy as the first Peugeot, lower class and you could tell. This Fiat is still one of the most popular cars in Italy. COuldn't take a pic of the front cos of the wall):








NEW Nissan Micra (what a cutie!):



TOYOTA AYGO - just for ScionLife! (Same thing wall blocking the front):



-With Smart car next to it-


Honda Civic rofl!:



And my all time favorite OLD CUSTOM PAINTED FIAT CINQUECENTO:







Feel free to comment! :D

p.s. that Fiat 500 is custom painted black because they orginally didn't make them in black (only funeral cars and "business" cars were black)

oh and yeah they don't wash their cars. And it's understandable. They don't have drive-ways and the gas stations charge min. of 12 euros. Can't wash self-service either.

Yes similarities. Fiat is taller and narrower and longer. Cooler colors also.

And I hope you were referring only to the Fiat punto vs. Ford Focus. COs all the others are uhm quite different.

yr sooo wrong cutie
When my father came to visit he fell on his knees.
America is 30% cheaper on average for every car.
His porsche 911, picked up from Germany it's 30% more expensive than a 911 bought here. Why? I dunno.

If they were crappy they wouldn't sell as much. No?

Besides I made this post for you Americans who haven't been to Europe. Instead of bashing uselessly, be grateful.

I've been a fan of small Europen cars for a while. The tuner magazine from the U.K., MaxPower has taught me well. You guys should see what the tuners over there do with these cars, it's some crazy ish man.

I like Peugeots.
