I'm in Rome right this minute (outside a bar -- go figure) and the damned things are everywhere. One passed not ten feet away just a few minutes ago and I expect another any time now. A lot of Lancias and Alfas here, too -- marques you don't see often in la Statti Unitti.(A Citroen just went by.) Smart Cars are very popular here as well. Fiat owns Chrysler now, though, so expect to see more Italian rides around town from here on.

I grew up watching Lupin III. This gentleman thief is the smartest thief of them all. Haha! I remember them escaping from some high-powered facility using this compact hatchback!
