From the lunchroom at work, what I believe to be a 1958 or so Fiat Millecento (1100). I don't believe I've ever seen one in the tin before.

That front end (and that shade of blue) are exactly like my Dad's 1977 Grand Prix.  One of the first cars I learned to drive.  Man, that thing was a floaty boat and it sure had a wide turning radius, or so it seemed.  I also still remember being a back seat passenger as a kid, and waking up with that bumpy/nubby seat pattern embedded in my face after a late drive home from grandma's house.   ;D

Though I've never seen one like that before.

Yup, that's the first thing I thought of when I saw it.

Here is an interesting and odd one. Someone customized this Volkswagen Jetta with a Golf hatchback to give more of a station wagon space and vibe.

Saw a Maserati Levante yesterday, only the second or third one I've seen. The person who bought it though, I judged them severely, why you ask, they bought a beige Maserati....a bloody beige MASERATI. Wtf is wrong with you?!?!?!

Like you were at the Maserati dealer and you saw this rental car shade and thought, "mmmmmm, gotta get me some of that"



Not only that, but her rims were covered with brake dust, for shame

Yeah, that colour is awful.

The Levante isn't really a looker regardless of colour. The Stelvio looks so much better if you want a fast Italian SUV.

It's because we have an Alfa/Maserati dealership now, so they're readily available.

Followed a new Mercedes-Benz A250 4Matic 5-door onto the Victoria Bridge this morning. First one I see, no test drives published anywhere since the first drives from last fall ???
