Chris Bangle and the SOTW

[inkey$]

Interesting SOTW on Pistonheads; the Fiat Coupe.
Whats more interesting is the review of Chris Bangle and what it says about the Z4. We like

'Somehow though, and against all the odds, it seems to come together. Those scallops and creases were well 'out there' at the time of the launch in 1993 and had hardly diminished in visual shock value by the time the car's life came to an end in 2000. They give the Coupe some of that pouncing stance that Bangle perfected in the BMW Z4, another car that prompted some head-scratching at the time but which is looking fresher with each passing day.'

Didn't know he designed the 20VT - I presumed it was 100% Italian!

I loved mine back in 2001 - with a Supersprint exhaust and a K&N 57i it handled, sounded and drove like a dream - when it was working...

I was lucky enough to live 1/4 mile from a Fiat and Alfa specialist in East Sheen when I owned it, as it spent a LOT of time being repaired, but all the expensive bits were covered by Warranty Direct - including rebuilding and then replacing the turbo - TWICE.

One of those cars that still always turns my head

They are a bargain but they are an 'ownership car'. By that i mean love it and spend on it
