#68 of 18023 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 18023 Bora by alfox Aug 08, 2002 (10:54 am)
Just saw a "new" VW Bora on a dealer lot in Wellesley MA.   ?

That's crazy talk! I once saw a VW "Bora" and asked the driver if he was German, and he was not - he said he removed JETTA and bought a BORA decal from a German website for a few bucks and tacked it on there.   I think if I owned a Jetta i would do that.
#75 of 18023 Could well have been just that, Matt by alfox Aug 08, 2002 (11:51 am)
It was a neraly new car, probably a program car. Who knows? (Actually, the dealership probably knows, but I didn't have time to ask.)

In any event if it were a real Bora, I'd want it because it would be from Germany and not Mexico!
#77 of 18023 Well, by alfox Aug 08, 2002 (12:00 pm)
I did look at the VIN, and it started WVW, so who knows?
