This is a Fiat 127 -that grille was on versions sold here in the mid-seventies, I think - not sure about the year though...

Yep, it's a Fiat 127, dunno the year. Pic was taken in Sicily.

Was there a SEAT version of the 127?
Yes indeed. It was very popular as a street/housekeeper car.

it looks like this EVO X is a 5 door hatchback, which never seem to do well in the US. As and example , I noticed the new mazda 6 no longer comes in a 5 door.

Interesting, though, that Subaru has chosen to offer the new STi only in hatchback form.

I predict an increase in the popularity of 5-doors as folks give up their gas guzzling SUVs.

I agree. I would also hope to see a return to the availability of minimalist small SUV's like the original CR-V and RAV4, both of which were available with engines under 2 litres, two-wheel drive, and manual transmissions.
In that spirit, I offer the following:

Top is a Citroen Mehari, red x in the middle, and a Renault R3 at bottom - the odd stripper version of the already agricultural R4. I see those and I think of Danny DeVito 
I've never been able to "get" 2WD SUVs...seems kind of silly, then it's just a station wagon trying to look macho.

R4, one of the best economic cars I have driven. Tough, easy to repair, durable. A bit rocking nevertheless, but not as much as the 2CV.

Jose
