Saw this parked by a friend's place in Fredericton.  The original trim was replaced with real wood.

Yeah, that trim was cabinet quality work.  Nice job.   :thumbup:

Seen tonight at my local FCA dealership, 3 Fiata's parked out front.  The black one is an Abarth, the white one is a 2018 and no telling what years the Abarth and red one are as there were no window stickers on them.  ALL 3 are automatics.

No wonder they are still on the lot... Can't imagine the take rate on automatics for this or the Miata are very high. Especially the Abarth trim...

I think it's in the 50% range these days.  :-\

I never saw the point of the Fiat version of the Miata. I have seen a couple on the road around here so someone has bought them.

I'm glad our import cutoff is 15 years and not 25 like in the US.

An Audi A4 in white, like this one.  Audi still makes some of the best looking sedans in the world.

For the new car, automatics now outsell the manuals... Yes, even with this one. I had so much fun rowing through the gears of a recent pressie (Camaro Turbo) that I have 2-pedal remorse. Not that I can find a 3-pedal PHEV of course.

Have to disagree with you on that one, sorry.

Audi lost the memo after the mid 2000s IMHO.
If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.
