His post highlights the enduring appeal of Bertone's design and the car's inviting interior, setting the stage for a community discussion on this automotive icon.

Aaah, this one... I had many opportunities to see it on the roads and / or in the streets, in France, Spain and Italy, in my childhood, and I always loved this car. 

Never owned one, though. 

Bertone's Design: 








And the interior, a perpetual invitation to escapes.

who didn't like these cars? There were cars with a more useful back seat, cars that were faster and cars that were more reliable but very few cars at this price point (or far beyond) were as desirable IMHO. The styling, the handling, the steering, the transmission! What a gem!

You might at some point put enough mileage on it to exchange it for a low mileage Alfa? πŸ˜‰

I have one, the styling by Giorgetto Giugiaro, of Bertone is one of the all time great automotive designs. If the looks don’t get hooked, then the engine and sublime handling will.
