Series 1 66-70(ish): Called the Roundtail, Duetto, Boattail or "Osso di sepia" Spiders. These are shaped like a cuttlebone (that's osso di sepia in Italian). Dustin Hoffman drove one in "The Graduate".
Series 2 70-81: Coda tronca or "Kamm-tail" - Has a squared off trunk and Spica mechanical FI. Earlier ones have nice looking chrome bumpers, later ones have black crash bumpers.
Series 3 82-89: Bosch Injected. Has Bosch EFI and a little rubber "ducktail" spoiler.
Series 4 90-94: Newer Bosch FI, very smooth looking body effects, Automatic available.

because they couldn't find a Mopar V8 that'd fit.
I must've confused the Cricket with the Omnirizon which was made in Europe as a Talbot when Chrysler owned Talbo-Simca.

Hardly an "obscure" car however.....harumpf!
Now if you had said an Alfa Montreal, well, okay!

I think the Laforza was an Italian SUV - I think it had a 5.0L Ford V8. A nice looking SUV, anyway. I don't think it was related to FIAT.
1. A Plymouth Barracuda
2. An '87 LeBaron coupe- one of the rare "Maserrati" editions.
3. This one isn't unusual- a Prius. What is unusual is how popular they are here in LA. I have seen hundreds- 2 in the last 24 hours alone!
4. A natural gas powered Ford Taurus.
5. An electric RAV4 used to park on the street accross from my office, but it doesn't park there any more.
?
I think if I owned a Jetta i would do that.
My favorite engine in the whole world is the 1.9 TDI!
Boras and Jettas are identical in appearance except possibly for minor trim items. I'm not sure if our TDIs are German-made, they probably are. "WVW" definitley means a German car

Wasn't it around '58-'59 that Insolent Chariots came out?
Ironically the compacts got GM in even more hot water (Unsafe At Any Speed)

I recall hearing that LaForza was built by a now defunct company that was owned by Lamborghini. Of course, that is just me hearing...so I cant claim truth.
I saw an Avanti II yesterday. In good condition and actually being driven as an everyday car.

"Equipped with a 302/5.0 Liter 340 HP “Supercharged” Fuel Injected Ford engine coupled with a Ford electronic four-speed automatic transmission..."
Read down on the page: Skip Braden, General Manager of Laforza, tells us that "During the Laforza's 35-mph crash test the Laforza is the only vehicle to ever crash through the barrier."

I don't remember hearing anyone accuse the 2.5 wheezer of being able to get up and go. By the time it got a V-6 it only got heavier, more cladding (really? a Pontiac with cladding?nahhhhh) and pricey.
