I was talking about the old-style Spiders, the ones that dated back to "The Graduate" from 1967. The Spiders you saw in Italy were most definitely the new style with the Twin Spark engine, right?

Yes, the FWD Spider based off of the Alfa GTV.

The last RWD Spiders were the 115.A2s I believe (going from memory here). I've seen some registered as a '94, probably leftovers.   Hardly an "obscure" car however.....harumpf!   Now if you had said an Alfa Montreal, well, okay!

i've seen a few of those here in LA.... somewhat boring styled SUVs...
#68 of 18017 I saw two new Minis in one day.... by andys120 Aug 08, 2002 (8:48 am)
I think they're gonna be pretty popular considering how tiny they are (tho a lot bigger than the original).

Does anyone know the details of what is in a Laforza? What kind of engine? are they related to Fiat?

I'm starting to see new Minis, too. I've seen 3 or 4 so far.   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.

This morning, I saw:   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.

My neighbor has a Prius, so I see one every day! But, that's the only one I've actually seen on the road.
#73 of 18017 Bora by alfox Aug 08, 2002 (10:54 am)
Just saw a "new" VW Bora on a dealer lot in Wellesley MA.   ?
